instead of trying to horse that wheel back up to the swing arm while trying to keep the hub on and the brake slot where it belongs.. try lowering the bike to the wheel.
1. Jack up bike high enough
2. Roll wheel under bike
3. put hub in wheel
4. lower bike a bit
5. line wheel up a bit, make sure brake arm is in it's slot

repeat 4 and 5 until you can put the axle in.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.
