My best suggestion is to get a copy of Haynes and read the procedure for your manual rack. I have not done this but it looks like in order to get the rack itself out you pretty much need to take the whole steering gear apart. That in itself doesn't seem too difficult. But then it needs to be reassembled properly and new parts used as required. As Jorrell mentions, tolerances are tight. You may need to replace some parts which you can only get from Volvo and it requires a couple of tools you might not have. A dial gauge, a torque gauge and a small inside puller for the lower pinion bearing are needed. It's not just a matter of cleaning it up, lubricating it (Cam racks use motor oil BTW, if that's what you have) and then putting it all back together the way it came apart.
