Default CV Joint Assembly ??

I'm re-assembling my rear axle after putting on a new outer boot. My question is how in the heck do I get the CV joint on the half shaft with the little "C" clip? I don't want to hammer to hard, I'm afraid to break it. Do I need to compress the C clip somehow? Any info from someone that has done this would be awesome. Thanks!

Just line up the CV hub to the output shaft and pop it back on. The clip will compress its self and lock into the CV hub.
