Default Steering rack replacment

Hey guys, have a bad seal and leaking thru boot. I know the typical start is to remove the tie rod ends / bolts to rack and disconnect the steering column. I am not seeing the hoses to how to disconnect them ? I found a video from you tube in Russia but can not tell what they are doing, looks like they are separating the frame to make room to remove it ? Thanks for any help

Hiya, yeah sadly the subframe has to come down, not that difficult.

Thanks for the replies fellas. Got the new rack today and going to attempt replacement this wknd, do I have to drop both sides of frame or just the drivers side ?
