I usually just use a tool to pry the metal joint into the driveshaft ears. Pretty much anything that fits in there will work, but I have found that a 3.0mm hex wrench does the job nicely:

That's what I do every time with the tip of some needle nose pliers, works every time

I like that tip with the 3.0 hex driver.

I usually just put them in a vice but I'll have to try that.
