Tensioning the Inner Clamp
-- Mount the CV Joint Boot Clamp Tool -1- as shown. Make sure that the jaws of the pay attention to are seated in the corners -arrows- of the clamp.
-- Tighten the clamp by turning the spindle using a torque wrench -2- (without tilting the pliers).
- Use torque wrench -2- with 5 to 50 Nm range (for example, :VAG1331 ).
- Make sure the thread on the spindle -1- is easy to move. Lubricate with MoS2 grease, if necessary.
- If difficult to tighten, for example because of dirty threads, the proper clamping force of the clamping sleeve will not be reached even when tightened to the specification.
