My old Alberta truck had the high pressure line ceased into the housing of the rack. There was no way to remove it without destroying the hose. If yours came out easy, I'm envious for sure!
I decided to replace the rack with 300000km on it. Several people around the boards here reported leaks around that age and Toyota tends to design things in lifecycles to all wear out at the same time. I figured the bushings had lasted as long as the rack should, so I replaced the whole rack.
And the intermediate steering shaft because that was ceased with rust. And of course, the high pressure line.
Very expensive project.
