hub end or gearbox end of the driveshafts?
if it's the cv on the gearbox end, they just slide in (and out) easily.

Just shove it back in. I just found a driveshaft at home and it looks like they just slide in and out in the middle. Just make sure you put the circlip back on afterwards

But surely there's a circlip that holds the shaft in? Doesnt the shaft need to come off in order to put it back on?

The circlip is attatched to the driveshaft,it stays with it,its on very tight and it sits in a groove..they dont easily pop out,theres also a grove in the Gearbox/C.V end,it will just pop into that groove if you push it.

Oh so you're saying it's just the roller bearing that's popped out?

yeah kinda..out of the cup thoughdoommachine said:
but to remove that whole roller bearing assembly off the shaft you need to remove the whole shaft and use circlip pliers to remove a proper internal C- Clip...thats not whats happened.
What has happened is one of the two following
1.The little ring clip that sits just behind the spline has popped out of the housing groove,it stays with the shaft and can be popped in ( not entirerly sure if the front shafts have this setup,but the rears do,this is how your shafts are held into the rear diff housing)
2.The roller Bearing assembly that pushes into the green cup has poped out..see how in the pic below it fits into a 3 way cup (the green thing),well when yours popped out it may have rotated and can be slid back in cos its out of allignment...so try lifting the shaft up and rottating clockwise and anti clockwise while pushing it in,it will just slide back into place...back into the cup...im pretty sure this is whats happened to you.
