[Healeys] Steering box rebuild part two

[Michael Salter]

Next question  ... this applies to the later BN2 steering box.
The steering box tube appears to be soldered onto the cast steel steering
box itself.
I need to remove the tube to straighten it. Is this just a case of heating
gently and pulling the tube out?
Thanks.
