Stainless Steel Clamps for Hytrel Protective Joint Boots, Tensioning: Notes
-- Position CV joint boot clamp tool V.A.G 1682 as shown in illustration. Be sure that edges of clamping pliers are seated in corners -arrows B- of hose clamp.
-- Tighten hose clamp by turning spindle -A- using a torque wrench (do not tilt clamping pliers).
- Tightening specifications: 20 Nm

Be sure thread of spindle in clamping pliers moves freely. Grease with MOS 2 grease, if necessary.
If it does not move freely, e.g. due to dirt in thread, the required clamp tension will not be achieved at the specified torque.
