Default GT2550 driveshaft install help please!

New member here,

I hope I am in the right forum for this question.

I recently bought a 2007 CC GT2550 with only 30 hours on it. Nice machine. My first and only piece of maintenance on it was to replace the leaky plastic oil drain valve with a Drainzit valve. To do that I have to lift the engine up a bit. In the process...and of course I didn't realize this until I had finished the job...the driveshaft managed to become disconnected at both ends. I have been trying to figure out how to reinstall it. There are eight rubber cylinders on each end (some sort of cushion for the splines that actually hold the shaft in place) that don't all seem to want to cooperate at the same time. I have not been able to find anything on the web on the proper procedure and there is nothing in the owners manual. Anybody who has BTDT can share the tricks to getting this done. Grass needs its first cut soon so I am running out of time to get this back together. Many thanks.
