The CV half shafts are a piece of cake with the control arms out. Note that the front shafts are different sizes.

For the control arms, start spraying your pinch bolts with PB blaster a couple days in advance...

get a source of serious heat, too, like MAPP gas, for those pinch bolts. for lower arms, you can also heat the wheel bearing housing and beat it like heck with a 3lb sledge hammer and you might not need a joint separator, as they might just drop out after violence.
