Installing Bellows On B3 Drive
 

Is anybody aware of a good vidio on installing the bellows on the B3 drive. I found some good ones showing how to pull everything off but I have not found any showing the reinstallation. I have to pull off my gimbal ring to correct a steering problem so I thought this would be a good time to replace all the bellows.

their are special tools involved,,the ujoint bellow is easy but their is a tool to install the retainer that holds the drive side of the bellow in place,,,then once thats done you will need the exhaust bellow tool which is a real pain to do because you have to stretch it in place in order to get it to seat in the shield..pm me your number and mabe i will borrow you the tools..

I have the spline socket, bellows expander tool and tube of adhesive for sale if you want them just pm me. I would also recommend a flex drive 1/4 extention and small sockets for hose clamps, makes life easy.

Did you get my PM?

I will sell you both tools and glue for $65 shipped, and you won;t have to return them. PM me if you want them

Or save yourself the trouble and some money and replace the exhaust bellows with an exhaust tube.

What's the advantage of having a exhaust tube instead of a bellow?

I not sure what a exhaust tube is,any pictures?

I looked it up, it's just a straight tube, shorter, and it doesn't appear to have any flex. I read that it misses a lot of the exhaust and your transom gets covered in soot twice as bad. But I haven't read what the advantage is of having one.

An exhaust tube does not connect to the drive so the exhaust exits straight out the transom plate. Big block and Corsa equipped boats should all have an exhaust tube instead of a bellows.
