Escort steering rackend removal

[Royman]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove a steering rackend from a mk2 escort? I have the tie rod end and boot off but removing the rackend from the rack has me stumped. Its obviosly threaded on but the rackend is round so you cant take a spanner to it. It has got a hole drilled in it so i am wondering if there is a special tool for it? I have tried large multi grips but its to tight. I really want to do it without removing the entire rack.

Any help would be great!

Cheers
