[Healeys] Stearing wheel sticky

[Carr&Edwards]

Wish we'd known this before we fought with mine -- would have made the job a 
lot quicker!  (It finally came off--while we weren't around--after sitting 
for days with a tightened wheel puller on it plus liberal squirts of various 
lubricants.)

Maybe a coating of wire-wheel anti-seize compound would be a good idea at 
reassembly?
