Looks like i may need to change the bellows to get the outdrive back on. Is there any special tools i need to get it off? Sorry i'm at work and don't have the manual. I know it calls for a special wrench for the pins, but i've heard you can also use an allan wrench sometimes.

Yes,The big allen wrench works fine,put some marine grease or aviation gasket sealer on them when you put them back in.Taking the 2 side bolts out gives you plenty of room to change the bellows.Position the clamp screws at about the 2 oclock position when you put it back together.
