I have rebuilt mine, with a limited success so to speak. The reason why I was rebuilding it was the vibration at low speed/standing plus a smallish leak.
Vibration turned out to be caused by wear patterns on the internal walls of the rack cylinder. I only replaced the seals on the cylinder. It feels a bit better, but not as a new one.
The leak turned out to be in the steering gearbox - it takes
another seal kit and lots of pressing to do it.
Supposedly there are rebuilt racks available at cheap parts stores for under $200 - those might be a better way to go if
you have lots of miles and multiple problems with your rack.
Even if you have to replace it couple of times, because the first one is no good, still it will be faster then disassembly, honing, pressing etc.
