Critical Drew is on a distinguished road
Just my two cents here. I replaced both of my front axles. I was able to do this quite easily without removing the swivel bearing/ steering knuckle. I did not disconnect either of the lower control arms. Once the Caliper and Caliper bracket are out of the way and the steering tie rod is disconnected, removing the two large bolts holding the sb/sk to the strut gives you enough room to remove and re-install shafts.
It's much less intimidating if you don't see yourself removing the entire member.
Good luck
