Ok, so am going to change both bellows, What about gimbal bearing, and water inlet hose if they look/feel ok? This has the greaseable bearing.

    @tniggel is a Volvo guy. He has done the bellows once and is going to do it again this spring.

    I would do the water inlet hose while you have the drives off.  Getting the drives off is the hard part.  The water hose is easy.  As far as the bearing goes.  If you had any water in your bellows...change it.  If it was dry and they spin freely without any catching and you have been greasing them, I wouldn't worry about them.
