2007 X5 -HELP= Front Strut removal

I have a 4.8is with both front coil springs broken (101,000miles). After multiple estimates ranging from $1125-$1700 to replace both, I decided I could tackle this myself and have the springs for $350. I have the strut unbolted, BUT cannot figure out how to remove the strut.
With the double wishbone straddling the driveshaft, it appears the driveshaft needs removed to drop the strut? Can this be the case? I really did not want to have to get into that.

Links to pages that address this or videos and pics would be much appreciated.
