The tool I described works by being bolted on to 3 of the lug nuts. Then a large center bolt/punch is tightened which pushes the driveshaft out.
I didn't even know they made a tool for this! All I have ever done is just leave the axle nut on so the top of the nut is flush with the end of the axle threads and using a block of wood and a hammer, just tap it out.
