Other than this axle alignment issue, the whole task can be completed with only removing one end of the lower rear arm - that gives you enough freedom to remove the CV/axle from the knuckle. Buy yeah, I suspect that the extra play you'll gain by loosening or removing the knuckle-to-strut connection is going to make all the difference.
Of course, if you are removing the knuckle to press the bearing on a bench press (rather than using the on-car bearing tools) then this is all rather academic!
