Slide hammers can be bought in good tool stores, particularly stores that specialise in auto-body and sheet metal work. - I have never seen a slide hammer used in carpentry.

The internal hammer at the back of the slide is pushed in and the slide pulls upward. There is actually a tool for this but you can use anything that fits, push in the hammer until it clears the retention bar at the hammers center then lift the slide. Be careful the springs are under pressure and will shoot out. There are two springs one at the front for the slide and one at the back for the hammer/firing pin.
