Getting the halfshaft out is easy because the closed end of the guard is pulled
through the wheel hub. As you noted, reversing the procedure can be tough. What
I did was to reverse the stone guard by pulling the open end back so that the
guard
was inside out. That way the closed end was again pushed through the hub. After
I got the halfshaft on I then wrestled the stone guard back into it's proper
position.
I hope the above makes sense...
