The left (inside ring) bellow for the motors rod was replaced.

Replacing the bellow involved;

<ul>
	<li>One person holding the metal plate the detectors are mounted on (cabling remains plugged in) while the operation is performed.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>The motors box is supported by the cryring crane by its mounting points</li>
	<li>Bolts on the flange connecting to the chamber can then be undone. The whole motors section (rod included) is then moved out of the chamber using the crane and someone to stabilise the rod as it slides off the detector plate.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Once off the chamber, the steel cover can be removed by disconnecting from the flange and from the motors box. Best to perform on a table.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>The bellow is then removed by removing the nuts on the small flange (kf 25) connecting the bellow to the box. The bolts for these bolts are very long and go through the motors box from the moving metal plate seen in the attached image.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Follow these steps in reverse to install the new bellow.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

While replacing the bellow, it was noticed the long bolts for the small flange were too short. It was therefore very difficult to re-attach the nuts with any torque. The thickness of the head of the bolts was shortend to effectively lenghten the bolt which was sufficient to tighten the nuts. New bolts should be bought in case of replacing the bellows again.&nbsp;
