Steering Rack External Tubes

[sperold]

93 SHO. Both tubes are leaking, these are the tubes that transfer fluid side to side in the rack, but they are on the outside of the rack.
What are the chances those tubes can be replaced with the rack in the car? Has anyone done this?

How are the chances improved if the rack is unbolted from the subframe and rotated to make the tubes more accessable?

I have another complete rack, but my rack is A1 except for these tubes.

Anybody done anything like this?

Even as slow as I am, the rack will come out of the left side wheel well in less than an hour. I'm thinking it's not worth wrestling with in place.
