Default Intermediate shaft install help

Just replaced my front right axle shaft seal and so far the hardest thing has been re-installing the intermediate shaft. Any tips?

Pull the cover, and try and guide the inner end of the shaft into the spider gear. Having two people makes the exercise easier.....
