Im replacing the Gimbal bearing and bellows....Is the bellows cement required to be on either end of the U joint bellows? I know has to be on the Gimbal end but not sure about the opposite end (bellhousing)

ok cool
btw, the bellows was only a few weeks old when I took off the drive to find it full of water.
The bellows still looks brand new so I`m trying to figure out how water got in there.
Brian, God rest his soul, didn`t seem to use any cement on the front(came off really easy) could that be why water got in there??
i`d hate to put it all back together and have the same issue

O rings on the drive? they look fine.
I tried pulling the bearing but without the right tools and a torn up knee I can`t bend it`s a real ***** working on it.. it`ll have to wait.
thank you
