How do I reinstall Google Play services without Google Play services (!) Samsung S4?

How to reinstall google play services without google play services (!) Samsung S4

I've got a Samsung S4 / GT-I9505 / Android 5.0.1

I deleted google play services in anger one day (!) and now my life is hell. Any way I've tried to get at it, my phone attempts to launch Play Store which fails. (... presumably it needs google play services)

Can anyone suggest easy to follow instructions that would reinstate play services?

I'm trying to avoid a factory reset if possible.

You can try searching for a Google Play Services apk and download it and sideload it to your phone.
