if it's broke at one end you might as well break it at the other if it won't come out

worst case scenario is that you wil lhave to remove the rack, but as it's 2wd it's a doddle, pull the 2 bolts out that hold it in place, undo the 10mm bolt that holds the steering shaft to the column just by the bulkhead, undo the tca's and out it comes

with it on the bench you'll have much mroe time to be delicate with it and it might just need a bit of gentle persuasion with a punch to knock it round to break the seal a bit

if you are worried about the other pipe you can thread that through the engine bay while you remove it, not the end of the world if you have to replace it as well but make sure you've got replacements before you go that route

remember to make sure which pipe goes in which hole though
