It should just pop in!

It will be prudent to replace the axle seals to stop fluid escaping and dirt getting in.

Let us know how you get on.

We have a rude saying over here it's about your penis and your head, it describes me perfectly.
Reason the shaft wouldn't come out and I ended up somehow splitting it was I didn't take the saddle clamp off.
Photo 1 is how it looks now, photo 2 is how it came out of the car.
Hard works done the easy stuff is getting it all back together.
Many many thanks for all the tips and the tutorial video on You tube
