Is there anything else I can do to get the axle to go in the hub other than change out the entire arm??
This is a nightmare situation.

As a general rule, if something doesnt go in easy then you are doing something wrong. Stop, slow down and think about what you are doing. Once you start forcing anything the risk of doing great damage increases and it hits your pockets hard especially with mercedes. You shouldnt have to hammer those axles in...
I just did them on a buddy's 300D and it was easy job.
