Help How do I replace half shafts in 01 A6

I need to replace the cv joints in my 2001 A6 Avant Quatro. What are the proper steps I need to take to remove everything and put it back together? Do I need to pull the struts? And or the control arms? Thanks

I am able to change half shafts by unbolting, then jacking the suspension, having a second person turn the steering wheel to it's extreme and finding that sweet spot. When you get that sweet spot, they will just pop out.
