Nice video just thought you should know that you have to torque the bushing ends of the control arms when the vehicle is at ride height. If not you will get premature wear on them you might want to loosen it and then re torque it at ride height.
0:25 I am horrified that the pinch weld is being so abused by the bottle jack and jack stand in an otherwise excellent video. 1:54 Jack up the steering knuckle for more clearance to remove that bolt. 3:15 Place a washer in the gap and use the pinch bolt to spread it open so you can remove the ball joint. 5:28 Clean all seating surfaces not just the inner bore. 6:03 Audi recommends replacing the pinch bolt.

Yes, was thinking that myself.
Applying that grease was a genuinely a great idea, I ripped my boot while taking that bolt
out
