Gonna do this quick and dirty. I'll revise and add pics later.
1: Install bellows to transom side
2: Place outdrive side clamp at 3 o'clock position, nut facing down. Also bend it into an oval shape and tighten it enough to be a little bit bigger than the rubber
2a: I crimped 2 of the anti corrosion clips with the little teeth onto the top and bottom. In retrospect I would've did 4 or at least on the sides. Your call. I think they helped it stay on, but the have to be crimped I believe.
3: attach a 5/16 nut driver bit to the clamp nut. I jammed a small piece of masking tape inbetween. The bit driver should be roughly 1in long and resting on the gimbal ring.
4: lower drive with the wheel centered. Install adhesive before doing this if you like.
5: turn the wheel all the way to the left, the out drive should shove itself into the bellows on the left side.
6: on the right side of the outdrive push the bellows a little bit toward the transom and inspect opposite side to make sure it went into the bellows on the left side. Shove right side of the bellows on as far as you can get it. I used a hook tool and a flat blade screw driver. At that point I could've cared less of I poked holes around the clamped area. If you're careful you can do it without. The nut driver should just clear or be resting against the angled part of the out drive.
7: turn the wheel all the way to the right and slide the left side of the bellows all the way on and make sure the clamp is positioned correctly.
8. Turn it back to the left and slide the right side on as far as you can. The left side of the bellows should stay put, since you are forcing the drive against it. If it doesn't tighten the clamp a little more and repeat steps 5-7
8a: let your adhesive get tacky if you'd like
9. Tighten the nut driver bit with a 1/4 wrench. Assuming you have one with a slight angle to the head, you'll have to flip the wrench over every turn.
