Wtf... someone please offer some guidance...
So the old compression rod came right off, trying to get the new one in is a different story. The part that goes on the stud slides right in, but the other end, for the life of me, once I get the little cone piece on, will NOT seat in there at all. Is there a trick to this? Does the front axle need to be removed!? I'm at a serious loss here.

Pretty sure I've dropped those in without pulling the axle.
Either way...just zip the axle nut off and tap the end of the axle in slightly and should give you enough room to do it. An impact wrench will make this easy.
No impact...put the wheel back on without the centercap and drop it to the ground. Put the socket through the center cap hole, put your breaker bar on and a pipe and lean on it. Do the same when comes time to tighten the nut up.
After the nut is loose, the axles usually tap in pretty easily.
