Since you can change a front CV boot(s) by only undoing the inner bolt for the lower rear-most control arm, no re-alignment is required.

Even if you disconnect a tie rod or ball joint and take the axle out the conventional way, you wouldn't need a _new_ alignment.

Search for the 30 minute cv boot replacement DIY on here (at a hotel w/exceptionally slow internet or I'd have linked it for you).

Answer is "no", you don't have to redo alignment. Just don't touch the front strut bolts (you don't need to).

Well done!

I did mine without removing the CV from the hub but it gives you better access by doing so.

Like the BFH at the lower right of you image!
