Basically I will keep going until it demands I start taking apart the CV joint bolt or loosening the control arms.

Undoing the control arms is easy, you’re supposed to replace the bolt but they’ll be fine. It’s only releasing the driveshaft bolt that’s an issue as it has to be replaced and it’s specified torque is very tight.
Recently swapped mine, I fitted upper arms as well anyway so released them but also removed the driveshaft bolts. The drive shaft bolts are easy if you’ve got a torque wrench that goes high enough for the initial torque and then I used a 1/2 knuckle bar with a length of scaffold to do the angle part.
