Cosworth power steering rack refurb help

Decided to tackle my leaking power steering rack on my 3dr, bought the seals from Graham Goode but having issues getting it apart.
I have done one side where you remove the silicone and pull the wire out to remove the seals etc but on the drivers side where the column meets the rack I can’t see how it comes out?

Yes it does mate thank you. Looks like the centre of the rack has to come out in order to change the seals at the other end. Cheers.

I put new seals in a rack ages ago. I even left the steering rack gaiter boots off to make sure the seals weren't leaking. I but the boots back on. A few weeks later the rack started to leak again. I bought a recon rack in the end.
