I found a way to do CV bolts easily with no helper. Did all of them while staying under the car on jack stands and not having to climb into car.
Just left the parking break off and removed rear wheels, put the right socket on center wheel nut with a big ratchet and a cheater bar long enough to touch ground and be locked into position. Set the ratchet to clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on wheel and, then you can unscrew each bolt, with the ratchet and cheater bar acting like a parking break, while turning the CV by hand in the opposite "ratchet-clicking" direction.
Don't know if this is clear. Anyway it was fun and easy, and of course it works for both removal and install.
