Getting ready to install the rear PSS9s. To remove the old struts would you undo the axle nut or the CV joint to move the hub? I’ve seen it done both ways.

Bonus question, if I use a spring compressor, could I get away without undoing the axle at either end? When I used it on the front springs I got a lot of clearance. Is this just wishful thinking?
