My first time I switched out an axle it was on my 89 xj, and I did the same damn thing you did. You mess up once, learn what not to do, and next time you mess with those arms, it will be easier. Its a learning process

Roll it counter clockwise and if its too extreme of an angle, the control arms are too long or upside down. and if your having trouble rolling it take the front drive shaft out
