Default Trim sender replacement

Is it possible to replace the trim senders on the side of the gimble without pulling the bellows? I've got the gimble off the boat but I really don't feel like buying the tools to pull and reinstall the bellows ring.

Probably not.. Unless you are a master contortionist & have some flex sockets that are outta this world..

The thru hull for them is just in to precarious of a position above the water hose & U joint bellows and behind the gimble ring...

When I had one replaced at my dealer on my old Baja, they did it without even pulling the drive. They turned the drive all the way and used the old wires to pull the new wires through. I didn't see them do it, so I can't be anymore specific than that.
