Well, I pulled out my axles. The problem is I'm getting a loud humming sound when driving and have already replaced the bearings. I took both axles out and narrowed it down to the right axle making noise. So I try to put my left axle back on, but its 3 inches too long when I try to put it in the hub. I take the axle back off, and the whole inner joint comes off. I try to slide the bearings back in but they won't go back on. I assume they have to be pressed back on. Here are some pics:

Bearing won't slide into intermediate shaft:


There was also very little grease in the joint. I thought i was supposed to be filled with grease. What do I do now? Is it something I could fix or do they have to be rebuilt? Problem is a can't replace it with a stock axle since I have custom mark williams axles and the intermediate shaft is a different length(stock axle is too short).
