See full version: How to remove gimbal bearing alpha one
The Exhaust Bellow or Exhaust Tube will be glued and clamped to the gimbal housing (transom housing).
The screw for the clamp should be on top and facing towards the stb side.
There is a hole through the stb side of the gimbal shroud through which you can slip in a very long 1/4" extension.
Install a 5/16" swival socket onto the end of the extension and it will allow you to tighten up the exhaust clamp. more
Coat the water passage oring with Bellows Adheasive and glue into place on the bellhousing.
Clean and grease the shift shaft. Install the shaft making sure to have the white plastic washer under the Shift Lever.
Clean off all the old gasket material from the bell housing and drive.
The Gasket Kit includes new orings which must be properly installed.
Coat the outer perimeter of the large fat oring with Bellows Adheasive and
install it in the bell housing bore where the drivehshaft passes through.
It must be fully installed up against the rim in the hole.
Once in place, grease the inner oring with Universal Joint and Gimbal Bearing Grease.
Notice the two brown plastic washers which were located on either side of the bellhousing.
You have to make sure these are in good shape and put back in place during assembly.

7. The u-joint bellows connects to the gimbal housing with an inner retainer ring. That ring is inserted with a disc shaped inserter that fits on the alignment tool. You can make your own or just by it from Michigan Motorz. Some say the ring will just press in by hand and some say it takes some force. I got the tool because I didn't want to mess up the one ring they give you with the kit.

b) Engine alignment tool. If my engine mounts are good, How do I get around buying this $130 special tool, or is there a comparable replacement so long as the outter diameter is the same? Buy the engine alignment tool. I found it for $45 bucks on Amazon.
1) Brands of kits. Should I order Mercruiser or is a particular off-brand just as good?
Then install the shift cable (long metal insert). more
11. Get a wire brush attachment for your dremel tool. It makes cleaning up the transom and gimbal bellows bosses much easier because it can get into the tight areas.
