the driveshaft will just slide back into the gearbox,but you will need to top up the oil if you have lost any,
on the hub,where the bolt goes.you can open the hole a little by knocking a large screwdriver or small chisel into the gap.this will make it easier to fit the shock back in.dont hit it too hard and break the hub.

you could also try a jack under the hub putting pressure to slide the two together, good few wacks with a hammer she should slot in, make sure doesnt go to far as it only needs to go to a certain point to put the bolts through

as above with the shaft pop it back in
