You don't have to remove the complete outdrive to change the bellows, it's only necessary to remove the upper gear box.
I think the job is fairly easy, but I have done several hundred of them.
One other thing you should check while changine it, is the water hose conntection. Then tend to corrode away and cause overheats.
Here is a thread the covers what you need to do.

You can also go up the the Adults Only sicky at the top of this forum and download the OEM manuals for your engine and outdrive.

PS> If you turn off your caps lock, you won't have every word capitalized like that, sure makes it hard to read.
