Make sure the opening of the clip is at the bottom, wriggle the shaft in a circular motion and once it popps in give it a couple of thumps with a plastic hammer. Just be careful of the seal, sometimes they can pop in quickly and pinch the seal.

thanks mate got there in the end with a little percussive persuasion as advised by the toyota workshop manual.. a lot harder to put back in than to take out, now to top the diff back up and go for a test drive
