What's the best way? Has anyone done a set of these before? Will turpentine hurt the bellows?

Not a good idea if you want to keep the tubes. Sony tubes (unlike MEC) have a separate tube face and tube bell which are held together with a cement. That cement is porous and gas and turpentine will be absorbed by the cement and cause the tube to fail.

If you don't care for the tubes well do what you like although I have no idea what those chemicals would do to any rubber parts.

There was no problems just cutting housings off tubes.

Bellows are steel so solvent wont cause harm for them, but not sure about bellows coating.
Like km987654 wrote, Sony tubes don't like solvents. Even glycol soften that cement between bell and front glass.
