That's about right and then there's all the power steering pipes and seals to do, tie rods and of course tracking and the like.

& to think I swapped the racks between my last XJ40 & XJR, with one car on the drive & the other out in the road (only to find the leak was from the pump) - messy/unpleasant but not difficult or even, particularly, time consuming.

They don't call those "luxury cars" for nothing!
You might be able to wrestle the rack out through the wheelarch, like a 206, but easy it isn't.
Allow a full afternoon, if it can be done. Longer, for failed attempts and having to drop the frame, if it can't.
In honesty, if the facilities are available, I think I'd just go for the subframe right away.
Much better access, so far fewer injuries
