1993 2.1TD Steering rack leak and removal/repair. - nippy7
Steering rack leaking power steering fluid - looks like around the pinion area (where column joins rack). Is this likely to be just a small job of replacing a seal (O ring) where pinion sticks out of top of rack? How on earth do you get the rack out of the vehicle? Haynes manual very simplistic...when steering column trim removed is there a bulkhead pannel that comes off to allow access to remove in/out pipes from rack and access to rack to body fastnings? Is there anything to be especially aware of when removing/replacing? (I have lifetime of playing with older, some vintage, cars so have a fair bit of know how).

WOOPS subject should read 1993 (not 03) I do not know how to alter the subject heading.
