I think you need to post in a relevant section so we can see what your car is....

Unless you know exactly what you're doing, pay a man with the right tools and know how. Likelihood of you getting stuck without the proper gear will cost you more in the long run.

On the 4F A6 you release the CV joint, release at least one of the lower ball joints and expose the back of the wheel bearing. Remove the four M10 XZN bolts and the bearing (in theory) falls out, in practise it is corroded solid as it is steel in an ally hub with no corrosion protection WHICH WAS REALLY STUPID, AUDI!

This is an A5 I did earlier this year, not even four years old....
