[Healeys] Steering idler bits

[Austin Healey]

The pointer is not on the correct part.
The number 21 is a sponge dust seal.
The bush is the number 16.

It is not an easy job to replace the bush. It need to be pressed in with a
tool, and reamed with another. Better leave for a pro.

The oil seal is to be replaced.
