5000s Steering Rack Update

["Alexander van Gerbig" <Audi_80@msn.com>]

    Rack is toast, got a price from loca mech. for $400 for a rebuilt unit,
$40 for a 2 year or 3 year warranty, can't remember.  Hydraulic pump is new
so no need to change.  Rack is spitting fresh fluid quite profusely at the
moment, keep it topped up and drive it as little until my sister can decide
what to do.  Got an extra can of Pentosin as well.  Also quoted as 4 hours
labor to r/r and 2 hours to align, is this right?

Thanks!
