1984 300SD Rear Rotor Removal went bad. Help Please!

Let's start off with 'I'm an idiot'. Actually, more correct is 'I'm much smarter than this'. Simple job. Stuck piston in right rear brake caliper caused the outboard pad to be eaten quickly and scored the rotor. Bought rebuilt calipers. Needed to remove the rotor so I could install a new one. The rotor didn't want to come off. In my confusion (here is the stupid part), I removed the bolt/washer/sleeve from the center of the wheel hub, thinking that since I did not see a set screw on the rotor (only the alignment dowel), that this bolt might be holding me up. After wiggling the rotor/hub, and even putting the tire on with a couple of lugs to wiggle with better leverage, I apparently did more than I had planned to do.

I did not see the results of my efforts yesterday when I was trying to wiggle the 'rotor' off. I soaked it all in PB lube last night and let it sit overnight. This morning, a couple of good whacks from a hammer and the rotor fell off. Now the bad news. The center hub bolt/washer/sleeve does not go in now. Most of you already guessed it. Apparently, I pulled the axle out a little bit while wiggling. I tried hammering it back 'in', with no luck. I have pictures. I am a bit lost here. How bad is it? Guidance would be a blessing. Thanks in advance.
