Are the axle boots torn or do the CV joints make noise? If so, replace the axle as well.

Folks. Ran into a bit of a snag. While removing control arm I found I needed a puller or as some call it a "special tool" to get spindle off of control arm. Its the connection that is closest to the wheel side. I tried every place near chicago to rent could not find. Any ideas?
