I pulled hub away too replace it and the stub axle came out with it as the splines had welded them selves on tight its the long one passenger side

Phew! Getting all of a tizzy over terminology for a second when you said front axle...

Yes, as james says the driveshaft (halfshaft) and cv joint will go back in although it takes a bit of gentle jiggling sometimes.
