Is it possible to change the UJoint bellows on a 1997 Bravo 3 transom assem without removing the bell (with 6 bolts) using the hing pin tool? Did it once on an old pre Alpha without removing anything but the drive. It was a pain but doable. Thks

Yes, if you pull the exhaust bellows out of the way you can pull the u-joint bellows out the bottom. I did one yesterday.

So pull exhasut one first then go from there.

I've always just pulled the bell. Are the pins seized or stripped out?

Assuming they are the same as B1's I can say I've changed them without even removing the hinge pins, but that required a lot of cussing and fighting. Pin removal is easier.
