[Mgs] 67 MKI upper steering column nylon bearing

[Rick Starkweather]

Dave:

I've got my steering column apart right now as I am "rebuilding" it
(repaint, new nylon bushing, new felt seal).  I had no problem removing the
old nylon bushing once the inner shaft was removed.  Just need a screwdriver
to press a small detent in the bushing.
