Guessing a bit from my experiences with other cars.
Usually these are secured with a captive spring clip. Simply tap the joint with a mallet around where the driveshaft goes in. It is easier with the driveshaft completely off the vehicle.
Make sure you have a couple of spare spring clips before you start putting it back together. You are bound to break the first one.
