I have a square plate that bolts to the drive flange, with a bit of steel bar welded to it.
I put that in the vice then tighten away.
Also handy to do balljoints on the bench and torque them up properly (72 lb/ft).
Can also use on the car to torque the CV nut without standing on the brakes.

All the other`oles have served various purposes..!

I get them up as close I can on the bench. Not usually very far off. I check them again once the wheel is on, car is back on the ground with the wife standing on the brakes for good measure.
