cheakster, i had a difficult time to reassemble the passenger front axle when i rebuilt my CV boot too, it's longer than the driver side. I don't want to damage the right front spring strut so here is what I did (don't worry about alightment):
Supposed that you already removed upper/lower control arms and right tie rod in order to pull the axle out for rebuild CV Boot.
-removed right front caliper (2 bolts)
-unplug brake sensor/ABS cable
-removed right carrier with rotor completely off from right sprint strutt -( by removing this, you have to lose 2 big bolts (see picture below))
and
Now, you have more room to reassemble the right front axle and install it all the way to the differential. When you finish with axle, reassamble what you have removed.
