I did what you are talking about (separating the drive shaft from the joint in the car) once, and although eventually successful, I decided that is much easier to take out the whole axel and separate the joint on the bench. You can put the driveshaft in a vise, and give the joint a few whacks with a hammer while holding the snap ring open.
With the axel out, you can also take the tripod joint off with a 3-jaw puller and put the outter boot on that way. The only caution to this method is that the tripod bearings are delicate and it is easy knock the outer shell off the race. When that happens the needle bearings go everywhere.
