Getting the inner hub back on. Any tricks?

Disassembled my front wheel. The inner hub is being a pain and doesn't want to go back on. Any tips?
Thanks

8inches of 1.5inch PVC pipe was the perfect tool, perfect fit. Piece of wood and a hammer, instant success.

Exactly.. you need to seat the inner hub/cam assembly as a single unit (ie you can't use your hand to try and press it in). Using a pipe or similar tool to press it in evenly at the same time is the only way to go. In the 2nd pick a large socket can be seen as the hub/cam assembly is tapped into place.
