Default 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?
this bit:

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.
