The actual rack that goes to each wheel?
Don't think you will get it off with engine in

Maybe wrong though depends on the clearance at back of engine. Need to disconnect from the column in the footwell and the ball joints on each end then 4 13mm nuts hold it in place, may just be able to persuade it out with engine in but I've never tried tbh

Yes you can change the arms. They are just screwed into the steering rack.

Had to do it on Sc0ots old Corsa after he done the same, snapped the TRE.

I think you're on about the track rods. In which case yes you can replace them individually. Shouldn't be too hard a job.
