The exhaust tool had the bellows on in seconds with little issue.
Thanks Hall I have now had the opportunity to use the tools and can report that the exhaust bellows had the job done in 10 seconds the U joint bellows to was also very effective

....You'll probably get more feedback if you start a new post on this. ...per forum protocol you should.
Always at least minor PITA, especially if they have been clamped for a long time. Hose pick, low temp like a hair dryer or heat gun set on low temp will soften the rubber.
If you are changing them,not saving them, destroy them. Remove the clamps, sawzall out the center, grub off the ends with a screwdriver.
