The hub into the bearing is a press fit....
It's important to start it straight..... if not things get bad.
Stub axle into hub ? it should feed in easy if the splines are clean.
If they're grubby or rusty it can be tough.
Remove crud with wire wheel and a pick.

Thanks for the info,you say the hub is pressed into the bearing,mine after being undone tapped out with a soft hammer,I haven't disconnected the CV shaft so I think that's the reason for my grief......
