There are several ways, one is to drive the spindle almost all the way from one side, then use a stout screwdriver or similar, & insert it from the other side & 'jiggle' it into the hub, since the weight is already supported by the spindle, it is then easy to align it then 'tup' the the shaft all the way through with a wood block or hide mallet.

Thanks model man for the information I feel kinda stupid and not paying closer attention when I was removing the rear wheel assembly I'll give that a try Monday evening see what happens thanks again. Mike
