Good morning.
Yes you can. They recommend using it to push the axle stub through the hub but in most cases, you can push them out using a rubber mallet.
Could you verify your year and model? Is it US?
There should be attaching bolts behind the hub to release it from the spindle as well.

Good morning.
Okay, that is better.
I attached the procedure and picture for you to view.
The simple answer is no, you do not need the puller. Just a rubber mallet to release the axle shaft.
