Bellows installation

[gabe1]

Happy holidays everyone

I am in the process of trying to replacing all the bellows, gimbal bearing, trim switches, and shift cable.

I got everything out .

This whole thing is no easy job.

My question is (manual not specific about this) what should I start installing first:

First- Water hose to both ends of gimbal housing and bell housing.

Second- Ujoint bellow, exhaust bellow and shift cable bellow into gimbal housing?

Third- Shift cable and ALL bellows (hopefully) into to bell housing.


Thanks
Gabriel

Thanks for the info Don .
As soon as it warms up I am going to give it a try.
And I thought my job was hard :%

Does this clamp position looks correct to you:

Gimbal Housing
ujoint clamp-3 o'clock
shift clamp 4 o'clock
exhaust clamp 12 o'clock

bell housing
ujoint clamp 8 o'clock
exhaust clamp 9 o'clock
shift-crimped
