How to DIY change a sail drive diaphragm on Volvo Penta D2-55 Engine

So it turns out our sail drive diaphragm was 'dangerously' out of date and so we got a quote to replace it and our hearts sank! Safe to say this presented us with a prime opportunity to once again attempt some more boat DIY, as a total non mechanic! So in this video I attempt to DIY change our sail-drive diaphragm on Volvo Penta D2-55 Engine.
