Default Replaced rear bearing now a problem

Good day..
When I replaced the rear bearing I took out the bolt at the top of the knuckle for better access. Now I can not get the knuckle and the brace to line up to put the bolt back in. Any thoughts on how to get it back in? See pic..

Thanks for the suggestions.. ended up using the jack and a strap to pull the knuckle close to put the bolt back in.. thank you all for the suggestions and your time.
