[Healeys] Steering box bushing

[Bob Haskell]

John,

I'd make a steel drift with a pilot and use a hydraulic press to 
install.  But I have a lathe and a press.  May have to ream the ID of 
the bushing once installed.

Note that the bushing has a top and bottom.  The slanted groove doesn't 
go all the way to both edges.  The edge that doesn't have the groove is 
the bottom and goes next to the oil seal.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
