cv joint 86 pontiac 6000

I read how to change cv boot on my 6000. Does any body know if you have to use the special slide hammer to remove the drive shaft from the transaxle?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Pry out the axle from the rear of the inner joint housing, careful of the seal.

Thanks For Your Help.
