Vectra c steering rack

Vectra c 2.0 dti 2003
Has anyone ever changed a steering rack on one of these?
Leaking from the boots both sides, looks like its an electro hydraulic system.
Wondered if there are any issues with coding etc after changing as i can see a sensor in the rack to column uj area.

Did this today, awkward job and didnt require any coding to car.

Although it probably would've helped others if you'd "done a guide" pix of difficult parts of the job.

Did you need a new rack, or were replacement boots just needed?
Space is ridiculously tight on these!

Recon rack,leaking from the seals. i didnt want the hassle of trying to re seal etc although some say it can be done.
It is a tight one but managed to slide it out through the passenger side.
