W460 Diff lock sleeve moved in rear axle

Hi,

I was busy rebuilding the rear axle diff lock slave, and moved the G with the slave removed. Now the diff lock sleeve inside the axle has moved 😞
I tried jacking up both wheels and rotate them to get the diff lock pin hole visible again with no luck.

Any ideas how I fix this?

Thanks in advance.
Johann

Through the hole can you use a punch to gently tap rotate the slave til it comes around? Photo is for reference.

Thank you!!!
That worked.
I used the sharp point of a flat screwdriver to rotate it.
