"Back at the bellows replaceme
"Back at the bellows replacement job. The downloaded manual is very vague in places and difficult to follow at times. Also it is on office computer, not in the shop.
Despite the impression I first had from manual, I see I must remove the bellhousing to access all the clamp positions for bellows install. So far I have not observed any tears in the bellows, but will know when I actually get them exposed.
The pivot pin bolts have a 12 point female socket. Do you know what size this is ??? Looks about 1/2" but could even be metric. I plan to go after what ever it is this evening or early in morning if stores close before I can get there tonight. Any purchase guideline will be appreciated.
Also if you think of any other surprises as a "heads up" I will appreciate the advance.
I tried to read the SD tag identification, but it is worn beyond reading.
Just thought - I was reading about using an exhaust tube instead of bellows as a possible replacement. Do you know if this applies to a vintage unit such as mine (1988)?"
