un-clustering hyperv nodes into standalone hosts

As the title suggests, I have a pair of server 2016 hosts which are currently operating as a 2-node failover cluster.

Due to relocation of resources, I'm looking to break up the nodes into two standalone servers. One of the servers is to be decommissioned from Hyper-V use, the other to remain as an operational stand-alone Hyper-V host.

Is there a known process for un-clustering nodes back to stand along hyper hosts.

I have a number of sizable VM's (storage size wise) which currently sit on the C:\ClusterStorage\ location, I'm trying to figure out if I need to create a new LUN on my SAN and migrate the VMs onto this new LUN, or whether I could utilize the existing disk LUN currently used by the CSV volume?

Is there scope for me to powerdown the VM's, uncluster the node, convert the CSV volume to a normal SAN based disk and power back up the VMs on the now standalone host?
*EDIT*
I know there's the option to 'remove from cluster shared volumes' but I'm not sure what the impact is of doing this is..
