R and Ring right front axle has been the most difficult part of my engine swap. Getting it back in was much more difficult than popping it out. At one point I separated the inner joint, which thankfully popped back in with some twisting.
Even getting the axle back on the hub took a long time with a big hammer and a piece of 4x4. Eventually I got it to where the nut grabbed 3 or 4 threads and I could safely pull it back on with a big ratchet. Just bought a kobalt corded impact that gives 340 lb ft max to finish the torque with.
Reinstalled the axles was an all around nightmare that took hours.
