			Well, I got my bellows kit the other day and proceeded to start on it. Pulled the outdrive and found a little oil in the drive shaft bellows. Figured it was time to replace the upper housing input shaft seal. Pulled the assembly out, everything looked good. Pulled it apart and replaced the seal, not a bad job! Gotta get the outdrive back together and then back to the bellows. The kit came with a new gimble bearing but mine feels fine. I think I'll replace it anyway while I'm right there. The wind is blowing 40+ mph and cold, 40 degrees. I think I'll work inside today, just finished night shift!
