Great tool for steering system

If you are replacing exhaust bellows this tool is a must have replacement. I'm not sure how you would fit exhaust bellows without these!

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Slightly dented

It worked GREAT! good for bellows kits

delivered as promised and worked very well last time was very time consuming and frustrating without this tool and eventually the bellows would not tighten and eventually slipped off. This tool has saved me hours

Pros
  • great price
Cons
  • some small things

Very poor build quality on a simple tool

VERY poor build quality. Unusable as it came out of the packaging. I had to clean up jagged edges and bend the flanges into a line before use. I am disappointed in this price range! The Sierra has been letting me down a lot lately. They used to be a great supplier of parts but lately I've only been getting crap from them. (circa 2015)

Pros
  • is clear, even on the old
Cons
  • repair

Surprised Sierra makes this low quality pick

I highly doubt this is a real Sierra brand despite what the sticker says. instructions, but if you're mechanically inclined you should be able to figure out how to use the bar holder and clamp. The machine work on it is terrible. The edges of the plates merging into the fur crests are sharp and jagged. I had to file mine so there was no risk of them cutting the pelts in the grooves. The tool does what it's supposed to, but it's very, VERY poor quality (jagged edges). Thought Sierra would offer…

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Do not attempt to repair exhaust bellows without this tool

Absolutely essential tool for installing exhaust bellows on a Mecruiser output drive. I used a tool to slide the exhaust bellows over the transom flange and also slide it over the bell body flange. You may be able to fit the exhaust bellows to the edge of the transom without this tool, but once the bell body is in the gimbal, no one can push the bellows onto the bell body flange with fingers or hands. Follow the Mercuiser manual and the installation will take 15-20 minutes. Without tools, I…

Pros
  • Very fast delivery
Cons
  • Crumpled
