Alpha one gen 1 exhaust bellow

[forfun]

I recently replaced the bellows, after a week or so exhaust bellow came off from gimbal housing side, i was able to put it back on and tighten the clamp. Now it came off from bell housing side, i did use bellow adhesive. Any ideas why it keeps coming off? Secondly, should i be considering putting in exhaust tube instead? Can that be done without taking off the drive and bell housing?

Sounds to me like even though you used adhesive you did not clean the surface sufficiently enough prior. Take the boot off and clean it good, use adhesive (3M type) and reinstall.
