Well i got the drive back together and i wasn't sure about the adhesive as far as what to put it on i put it on the Bellows that connects around the gimbal on both ends ( clamp end and grove end inside of housing) my question is did i over do it?? and will this harm anything i just didn't want the freaking thing to leak because it was kind of a pain to fix! Thanks in advance
