One thing at a time or no worries?
 
I've been collecting parts from Blauparts to do on my 2003 A4 1.8TQM (150k miles) and waiting for the weather to break in Wisconsin.

I had clicking CV joints this fall so I have two new outer CV joints to replace.

Clutch is really starting to go and worries me so I got the Stage 1 clutch kit from ECS tuning with the lightweight flywheel.

In the last two weeks I started hearing the howl from the front driver side wheel bearing. So I have two new front wheel bearings to put in.

I also have a decent leak in my steering rack but I have not ordered any replacement for that yet. Read too many threads about getting the wrong replacement.

Yes that is a lot to tackle at once and I will likely break it up into multiple projects as this is my DD. Also, might just break down and have a local Audi/VW shop do it since I have the parts he will give me a deal for a cash job.

My question: Is there a problem doing the CV and bearings at the same time or am I changing too much at once? I would think they would be logical to do together since in the same place. Should I really look at doing the steering rack at the same time with all the labor involved to get in as far as the CV and bearings replacement?

Any thoughts or comments are appreciated!
