Basically, in an axel, you first skate/glide on your strong leg. Then, as you get into the jump, you bring your weaker leg forward and around your body as you twist around, and then when you land, you land on your strong leg and bring your weak leg out behind you. You may want to stretch both of your hands forward for better balance.
