Exclamation Removed too much doing rear brakes--semi-emergency

Hey all,

In process of changing my 89 560 SEC's rear rotors and pads, I smartly removed the 13mm bolt that (after searching the mbcoupes.com archives) holds the axle shaft to the hub. Turned out I just needed to whack the rotor harder to get it off. Anyway, now it seems the 13mm bolt is too short to grab the threads with the washer on it. Did I misalign something in the rotor-whacking process? I'm fairly alarmed here as I can't get the car back on the road (goind on a trip this weekend)......

I'll work on the passenger side rotor (minus the 13mm) in the meantime.

Thanks for any advice!
