Tightening Clamp on Outer Joint
– Attach the CV Joint Boot Clamp Tool - VAG1682- as illustra‐
ted. Be sure that edges of clamping pliers are seated in
corners -arrows B- of hose clamp.
– Tension clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not
tilt clamp tool).
Note
♦
The hard material of the CV boot (compared to rubber) makes
it necessary to use a stainless steel hose clamp. It is only pos‐
sible to tighten the hose clamp with Clamping Pliers -
VAG1682A- .
♦
Tightening specification: 25 Nm
♦
Use torque wrench -C- with adjustment range 5 to 50 Nm (for
example Torque Wrench 5-50Nm - VAG1331- ).
♦
Make sure the threads on the spindle -A- on the pliers move
easily. Lubricate with MOS 2 grease, if necessary.
♦
If it does not move freely, for example due to dirt in thread, the
required clamp tension will not be achieved at the specified
torque.
