MerCruiser Bellows R&R - Fast & Simple

I’m this video I show how to remove and replace the U joint bellows in a Mercruiser Alpha One Gen 2 outdrive system. Most methods show how to replace the bellows with the gimbal pins and gimbal removed. It’s much easier as I show in this video) to replace the bellows with the gimbal intact.
If it’s not clear ask questions in the comments.

Have you done tensioning to hinge pins before on. Bravo 2 transom. Would you know what torque they need to be ?

So how did you get the wire back in! I been fighting that thing! Had to walk away

[@BT-vm2jf]

So no clamp on the u-joint bellow on the bell housing side??

i now use exhaust tube....no more bellows! great alternative

[@franksmythe6969]

You absolutely do need to put adhesive on both sides of the exhaust bellows. You do not need to put glue on the bellhousing side of U-joint bellows. You kind of got stuff backwards there pal.

do NOT glue exhaust bellows!
