Not really a lot of traffic here, but I'll update anyway. I managed to that bolt of the rack, turned out to be a plastic cap that I easily could have unthreaded with an adjustable wrench, didn't think it was plastic.
BUT, you need a 1-1/2 wrench if it's being stubborn, there's also a smaller nut on the other side for the steering column.
I got the rack out, just need to get myself a new high pressure line because I blew it and overtightened it instead of loosening it

Oh well.
