I know how to slide the two shafts together but how do I get the metal thing into the end of each shaft?

Put one of the pins in a hole at an angle.
Seperate the ears just a lil' and push it in w/ your fingers or pliers.

the tool is a pita, but you have to pry up the ear, and pull out the metal shaft.
