Ok today was pulling out my passenger front strut and rebuilding with catridge type front assemblies from RocketScott (thanks guy!)

I thought I had propped the wheel hub nicely for while I broke down the old assembly and assembled the new one, but I apparently nudged the wheel hub when I was maneuvering the new assembly around the break-line and when the wheel hub leaned outward (away from the motor) it pulled the inner cv/axle spline out of the transmission. (I've read it may have never been properly installed or I might have a bad c-clip?)

Eitherway, I know it's a rookie mistake so I'm just looking for some opinions for Celica vets before I moved forward.

Good way to reinstall? Things I should check on?

- Edited for clarification

So I undid the two 14 mm bolts on the bracket between the carrier bearing and the tranny, at which point the axle slide right out of the tranny. Now call me a rookie but I was unaware of that the manual trannys had fluid that is a lot like engine oil. (This girl is my first manual ever) can someone link me to a nice write up for refilling the tranny and the proper type of tranny fluid for this ol girl (94 celica gt 2.2)?

And thanks for everyone who has chimed in so far!
