How did you tighten the ujoint bellow clamp on the bell housing side
Small screw driver. Think that one was the most painful to do...
Yep ima just leave with the leak. Just hoping it's not the drive bellow leaking. Nice video!
Thanks! yes, it definitely takes some time to replace.
Make sure to keep your bilge pump goin.
Good job! You made it look easy. How long did it take ?
Thank you. Total hrs was probably about 10-11hrs realisticly maybe a little more. Some are easier than others, it definitely was a pain trying to seat that last Bellow.
I ended up drilling holes through the aluminium to get to the hose clamps. I would like to see a video of how they put these together in the factory, Watch out for all the China shit bellows they sell on line they are only good for about 3 years. The oem ones last over 15 years.
Good video but mine is a 1969 mercruiser and I'm In a bit of trouble as one of the Hydraulic blocks for the rams is leaking. Terribly and I cannot get to it, nor do I know if that block is even replaceable
Thank you! Should be able to replace seal.
Some I believe you may have to have a specialty tool.
@NYAG it actually leaking out of the block that the lines attach to I believe it is the low pressure return to the pump as it has both the rubber lines off the rams attached to it the threads for one of them lines has pulled right out of the block so now I can't attach the line at all and I don't know how that block comes out I detached both lines and the block is firmly attached yet i don't wanna just twist on it as I don't wanna coz a bigger issue
Like the threads or a O ring leaking.
@NYAG it's the threads coz it was leaking so I tried to tighten them but it didn't stop leaking just pulled all the threads out the block
My set up is the style were the holding tank for the Hydraulics is part of the pump body and the only thing the hydraulics do is raise or lower the prop into the water
There is no way to reach that oil fitting. So should I just replace the shift cable Bellow? And maybe the exhaust Bellow.
Change them All or you will have to go back and do the whole job over again in a year or two.
5/16 hose clamps
Yes sir, do believe that's the standard. 👍
Excellent video But what if I cannot get to my oil fitting inside the boat to pull the clamps? I have a two thousand and 3 four Winns freedom 180 And my engine is in a tight little hole. Should I still remove the bellhousing?
Thanks!
Are you needing to replace the oil fitting? I only had to for the customer, cause it broke.
If you gotta remove the bellows, then yes. It makes it a bit easier, especially for the shift cable bellow (feeding cable).
No I don't have to change the oil fitting but it looks like it has to be detached to pull the helmet out. Am I correct
Also, thanks for replying to me. This is the first time anyone's ever replied LO. LI did subscribe and I will be watching all of your videos, LOL.
Someone also told me that I can just simply cut the oil line and I guess. Spice it on the outside of the transom.
Correct, no point in removing if you dont need to. that's what I would do, Is cut the line and put a new one. A new one is only like 2 or 3 bucks at most.
Thank you, sir, for the support!! I appreciate it. And glad I could help.
Thanks for the video. Very helpfull

I'm cringing watching this video! I don't even know where to begin as far what all you did wrong...not being critical, just facts!
Customer's happy with it, and it's holding up just dandy 👍.
I'm curious...what are you cringing at!?
