Fig. 1 Tightening clamp on outer CV joint
-
Position VAG1682 pliers as shown in illustration. Make sure jaws of pliers seat in grooves of clamp (arrows -B-).
-
Using torque wrench, turn spindle -A- and tighten clamp.
^
Do not cant pliers
^
Tightening torque: 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.)
Notes:
^
Use a torque wrench with a range of 5 - 50 Nm (approx. 4 - 40 ft. lbs.) (e. g. VAG1331).
^
Make sure spindle -A- turns freely. If necessary lubricate the spindle threads with MOS2 grease.

If the spindle does not turn freely (e.g. spindle is dirty), the clamping force required on the clamp will not be achieved even though the correct
tightening torque is indicated
