[Healeys] BN4 steering box bearings

[Bob Spidell]

I was going to write 'Why bother?' Then I saw that new bearings are 
$80/ea at Moss. Still, I don't think I'd trust a race that has had ball 
bearings forcibly removed and replaced, but--theoretically--I don't 
think the balls would escape if you could get them back in properly. 
But, given the hassle of replacing these bearings I think I'd spring for 
new.
