Use a 7/32 allen key as a punch and drive out that pin (if you haven't already done so when pulling the rack)

My covers use pin slots, but I didn't have one of the right size so I just drilled it out to accept the largest size pin wrench that would fit. I did need to use a breaker bar on the metal cap to get it free. Note that these caps may be staked as well (mine were) so be sure to unstake them if they are.

When you get the plastic cover off the side of the receiver, remove the drivers side bushing. Under the metal cap at the bottom there's a roller bearing at the bottom of the input shaft and it's retained by a c-clip. Don't remove the c-clip (unless the bearing is damaged and you need to replace it).

Push the input shaft out the bottom of the receiver. You may need to wiggle the shaft and/or the rack at the same time. Now the rack should slide out of the receiver.

All disassembled and ready for inspection and cleaning. Note that in the above images the parts are already cleaned - they were crazy dirty and covered in exploded red plastic bearing material.
