I've been track my FM style depower for a little over a year and i have had no problems. I really dont see how you can "blow out" your steering rack.
Do you have any more info on the blow outs?

Do you mean the lock nut for the rack pretensioner, the one on the left in your picture? If so +1 just use some vice grips or a big crescent wrench on it. You do not need to tighten the **** out of it. You want to hold the pretensioner bolt anyway while you turn the locknut so a socket would not work.
No problems on my FM style depowered rack either. I did it by the book, and even bought an in-lb torque wrench to check the rack preload.
