If that nut was not tight and you drove it, hopefully no bearing damage was caused in the wheel hub. Sometime a new axle is tough to get in because of the axle lock ring on the end of the axle. Measure the depth of the axle hole until you hit that "brass rod" and measure the axle stub. If it will fit, then you need to force it in. If the "brass rod" thing is totally blocking access, then see if it slides one way or the other. Are you sure that brass rod in not a leftover ring from the old axle shaft stuck in there?
