‹› A stainless steel clamp must be used due to hardness of CV boot material (compared to rubber). This clamp can only be tensioned using CV joint
boot clamp tool (V.A.G 1682).
‹› Tightening Specifications: 20 Nm.
‹› Use torque wrench with 5 to 50 Nm range (e.g. (V.A.G 1331)).
‹› Make sure the spindle threads on the pliers - A - move freely. Grease with MoS2 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.
