Okay. I re-read your original question and it's evident you are looking for a short cut. Nothing wrong with that.
I wouldn't think you can remove just the rack even after removing the right hand inner TR end because you would run out of teeth on the rack. The pinion would prevent you from moving the rack any further to the left. But maybe if you removed the front cover and took out the pre-load piston you could withdraw the rack. Probably pull the rack bushing off of the other end too just for wiggle room. I'm not going to say you should or shouldn't. Just that it sounds possible. You would then also have a straight shot at the pinion gear for cleaning. But I would not just put it back together without observing the procedures in the manual with regard to piston clearance and pinion torque.
