My opinion - The bellows is the difficult part of swapping the AOS. The rest of it is easier to reach. If it's possible to install the bellows with the AOS still installed, it would be a lot more work than removing it and installing it correctly.

I did this video a few years ago and it may help you visualize the situation.
Thanks for the video. That gives a lot of context.
My full AOS was replaced by the dealer 2 years 15/miles ago. All the rubber should still be good and not hardened. I am thinking of maybe re-seating the clamps. Maybe something is up with the sealing surface.
I would hate to think that OEM parts installed by the dealer failed so quickly.
