If it's going in the gearbox then it will need hammering in, ans so nicely worded above

Wheel bearing end will just push in.

dont smack it in too hard, I normally get a piece of wood and hit that onto the cv as opposed to smacking the cv itself

Presuming you mean inner anyways

Firstly screw the hub nut on to the outer cv joint. Grab some wood and a heavy hammer and hit the wood onto the hub nut but making sure you hold the drive shaft straight at the same time so you dont lose the momentum.
