Default Replace Steering Rack Boot 95 Explorer EB

Yesterday the passenger side steering rack boot split in my 4wd 1995 EB
Explorer and leaked power steering fluid everywhere on the street. I was
at home and have not driven it.

I think I could replace this by removing the tie-rod.
Is this true, or do I have to remove the whole power steering rack?
Is there anything else special required?

Thanks!

Replacing the boot will not fix your concern. These boots are there as dust
seals only and do not contain any fluid. .. Seals further into the rack seal
the fluid pressure. Sadly - you are due for a replacement rack...

Talk about trucks, huh? They pretend that free **** is theirs...
