    Glue vs clip VP SX exhaust bellows

    I have links to the LK manuals if you would like them. One model earlier than yours likely In order to do the bellows, at least the u-joint bellows, you will need a 1/2Hex drive to remove the pivot joints for the pivot housing.

    Oil Leak Between Upper and Lower Unit

    Just so you know, there is no upper unit with oil in it...just a lower unit. All you would have to do is separate the lower unit to see what is happening. You should be doing this every two years anyway to replace the impeller.
