Steering Rack Repair - In Car?

My V70R just developed a pretty significant leak from one end of the rack, there's lots of fluid dripping out the boot. The rack is extremely difficult to remove (it's a partial from member drop, plus an engine lift). It's possible, but a pretty big undertaking.

Has anyone tried pulling seals from the end of the rack and replacing them while it's still in the car? Seems doable to me, and a lot less work.

There are no seal kits sold online for my car, but a local guy says he can match anything I bring to him.
