    I can't slide in the top of it back inside ( where the Allen bolt goes in).
    Tried using rubber hammer but that did not really help.

    Patience is the key - i did mine on jack stands, so lying on my back and trying to work it in was no fun, but I eventually got it back in place.
    Good luck
