Since you'll be taking off knuckle(s) I don't think there's anyway around not having to readjust the linkage. It is a bit of a PITA, easier with 2 people. The major issue I had was getting the splines cleaned up enough the knuckle could freely slide all the way in and out, much easier to do with all the parts out of the car.
