I took down my 140 to clean it and when I put it back together this happened. I can’t get it back apart. Any ideas of what I should do?

Agree...That looks like the guide rod is in backwards?I don't know the G2 but I'm fairly certain he has the guide rod assembly installed backwards. Unfortunately I don't have a answer on how to get things apart again.
Man you have to clean that guide rod.;D Is guide rod different from 9mm?Stand by my post #11. Have (3) PT140G2 springs. The flat end that sits on barrel relief has a center "dimple" for staking shaft; this end will not pass thru muzzle recess/hole; in following picture you can see OP's and my normal locked back slide, the rod is the same. If in backwards you would see the small spring in OP's pic as there is nothing to push small spring back plus there is no stake 'dimple'. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. LOL
Yes, it is different. It is metal, a different size, uses different springs and he is right. It isn't in backwards. If it was, the smaller diameter spring would be protruding through the hole. The wrong end doesn't fit through the hole in the slide as well.Man you have to clean that guide rod.;D Is guide rod different from 9mm?
Thank you! I only have my 24/7G2 to go by but the concept/construction is pretty much the same.Stand by my post #11. Have (3) PT140G2 springs.

Thanks for that Wino, I'll retract my comment now.Stand by my post #11. Have (3) PT140G2 springs.
