I used a faucet handle puller something like this

headlight wiper blades from the V8.

I have lots of tools I've acquired for working on the Audis.  Like Eric, I
found the flex sockets totally necessary for getting at bolts in some of
the tight places on Audis, where there wasn't room for a flex joint and
socket.   I've also found gear wrenches to be very helpful.  My next
acquisition probably will be those flexing gear wrenches that can be locked
at several angles.
