R32 steering rack replacement

Can it be done with engine in-situ?

Cheers

Yes

Right thanks - I'm guessing I need to get the column UJ pinch bolt off and the four bolts/nuts (2 each side) that are holding the rack to the subframe. Does it then come out pretty straightforward or involve a lot of to-ing and fro-ing and lots of swearing?

+ the plumbing and the wiring.  Otherwise, yes it just falls off.

yeah and the outer rods ends off the hub.  but it's all pretty straightforward.
