Sit down and have a brew.. and try not to get stressed about it.. I know its easy to say.
I think you should assess the situation and start again a fresh with your initial plan. as you should not need to take off the wishbones..
and the Steering rack bolts should be accessible.. I cant remember having any probs.. ??
BUT - if you need to remove the centre wishbone/arm mount, make sure the car is on blocks or axle stands, and put the nut back on until its on a few threads, then put the jack (trolley jack) under the nut and jack the car up.. just do this until it takes the weight, and lifts the car very slightly from the blocks or axle stand. now give the wishbone a whack from the wheelarch - side on) with a hammer (and piece of nylon or something like that), that should break the bond between the wishbone mount and subframe. if it doesn't hit the subframe in the same area.. works for me everytime.
- be careful..
Id pop round to help you, but i am very far away..
