Tightening hose clamp on outer joint
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Install Cv Joint Boot Clamp Tool V.A.G 1682 as shown in illustration. Make sure that the jaws of the tension clamp seat in the corners - arrows B - of the hose clip.
- Tighten hose clamp by turning the spindle with a torque wrench (do not bend tensioning clamp).
NOTE:
- Due to he hard material of the joint boot (compared to rubber) makes it necessary to use a stainless steel hose clamp, it is only possible to tighten the hose clamp with Cv Joint Boot Clamp Tool V.A.G 1682.
- Torque specification: 25 Nm
- Use torque wrench - C - with a range of 5...50 Nm (e.g. V.A.G 1331 ).
- Make sure the spindle thread - A - is not tight. If necessary lubricate with grease MOS 2 .
- If the thread is tight e.g. dirty, the required tensioning force for the hose clamp will not be achieved in spite of correct torque specification settings.
