I removed the drive to grease the u-joints and found some water in the u-joint bellows. Upon inspection, I found a tear in the upper side of it. My question..basically what does it involve to change it? Does the gimbal housing have to come off? I changed the exhaust bellows last year without removing the drive and it was a PIA. Is this something a DIYer can do? I'm not totally opposed to hiring it done, but the nearest shop is 70 miles away. I've got the Mercruiser manual for my boat now but the only thing I can find about it is basically "remove universal joint bellows" then "reinstall universal joint bellows". Can anyone point me to some type of a step-by-step thing so I can decide whether to tackle it myself?
thanks
