    What's the secret (ujoint bellow)

    I just can't get it seated on the flange. It gets close, but won't seat all the way. I don't want to put the adhesive on till I'm sure it will seat. Does the adhesive act as a lubricant?

    Bellow direction

    Before you say you should have bought genuine, price really mattered. that said, it's not marked up or forward. I know the ground clips go down, but which end does the flats by the clamp go? Feel free to lash me now.

    I've always installed with notches in. Am I making more work for next time? I can get the puller for free at autozone so its not a big deal.

    Removing mr outdrive

    Got the lower unit off no problem. The upper is loose but stuck at about an inch gap. Is it safe to pry? Doing a bellows replacement. I don't think the water intrusion was long term.

    Strange trim question

    When my motor is at idle, and I hit the trim switch up or down, it seems to really pull the motor down and run very rough. I suspect a bad ground, but I haven't found it yet. Anyone else ever had this problem?

    Alternator problem (update)

    Looks like my alternator has gone kaput. Is it worth trying to rebuild? I would guess its either the voltage regulator or the diode. It sat for a LONG time and possibly got wet along the way.
