Default Front control arm - lower front

I have to replace the lower front control arms tomorrow and was wondering how little I have to take apart to do it. I have had the front struts off and replaced all control arms several times but can't remember details!! I did a quick search but all I found was instructions to take apart everything, but not specifically the part in question. I suppose the 2 areas in doubt are the tie rod end and the center axle bolt. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

Axle bolt? You don't have to take that out...

Default I was thinking I might have to slide the CV joint back

to get access to the ball joint nut, but I must be getting confused with my SAAB! Must be all that Christmas cheer today!!
