CV/half shaft stuck

CV/half shaft stuck
So, I知 replacing my drivers side front left half shaft due to it failing on the road. I managed to pull out the part connected to the wheel hub and the shaft. However, when I pulled the shaft, it tore the boot on the inner section, closest to the transmission casing.
I cannot get it out the remaining hexagonal type looking piece. I have tried a couple of different things to try and pry it out, but I am worried that I may damage the small lip on the transmission casing. I bought a small sledge thingy to try to leverage it out, but no luck. The snap ring is really holding it in there very well. Any tips to get it out?
I cannot exactly lift it higher than about 2.5 feet off the ground with my garage jack, and I just moved from Alaska to Seattle, so space for working on your own car is non-existent.
I failed to take a photo but I may take one if I get down there again soon.

Thank you!!
mthe sldie hammer worked, but not until I found online that you can get a specific attachment for the slide hammer that fits the cv joint, and it grabs it around the waists, for lack of a better term.
it came out. I was super happy!! I just not need to actually pry off the steering knuckle to be able to gain the clearance to insure the spline section into the wheel hub. I just ordered the tool and have it in hand know (ball joint puller). It should go smoothly from here! I値l post updates about it when I get time to work on him again.
