Help! Need steering rack advice car on jackstands

Dear Saab People,
I have a 1989 900s that I am trying to pull the steering rack out of and I am at a standstill. My car sits up on jackstands and I am scratching my head in amazement about how these Swedes put things together so you cannot get them apart. I am trying to remove the bolt and nut that holds the u-joint onto the upper steering wheel shaft. I cannot get at the thing due to the air duct system in my way. How in the heck do I remove that blasted thing? The townsendimports website claims that there are two pinch bolts but I can only "feel" one. Any advice would be very welcomed!
ALso if anyone could offer some helpful hints at removing/reinstalling the rack that would great. I bought new tie rod ends as well, do I have to remove them to pull the rack out (I'd rather leave them on and measure them onto the new one.
Thanks in advance for your valuable time.
Vitas
