Find/Borrow a cone, any friendly local garage will likely have one. Nothing you'll find in the house will be rigid/smooth enough.

Or just take the drive shaft out which only takes a few minutes and will only cost you two metal ties and a bit of CV grease, side stepping the problem.

Why do you need to take off the CV joint? Isn't it just the boot you are replacing?
