Yep - fairly sure you can't so this without removing the hub nut and the bottom ball joint.

 

You need to belt the flat side of the joint - I had probelms doing my TDI one and in the end it seemed easier to take the whole driveshaft off and stick it in a vice, came off easily then with a couple of hard blows!
