14) Generation 2 only: The aft end of the bellows is held in place by the ridge on the inside surface of the bell housing and a inner sleeve. Apply bellows adhesive to rubber groove where it meets the bell housing. Work the bellows inside the lip (all the way until it stops) and push in the inner stainless steel ring.

I have only
15) Install water hose (bellows adhesive helps it slide on). Tip: you can use the hinge pin tool and a ratchet to hold the bell housing up.

16) Install aft end of exhaust bellows, Tip: it helps to pre-stretch the exhaust bellow over a plastic tube overnight or soak it in hot water prior to installing. You can also use a Exhaust bellows expander tool for this job.
