Anyone know any easy or an easier way to remove the CV axle joint on a 2012 A6 front passenger side? The outer boot has a small tear and is leaking oil. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hardest part is removing the axle nut. For that, remove the tire, then the center cap from the rim. Next, re-install wheel on car and lower. With the emergency brake on, you can access the axle nut through the center cap opening.
I also remove both upper ball joint assemblies from spindle to make it easier to slide axle out of hub.
