-
Tighten clamp by turning spindle with torque wrench (do not twist pliers).
NOTE:
-
Due to hard material, it is only possible to tighten clamp with VAG 1682 pliers. Tightening torque: 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.). Use torque wrench -C-
with 5 - 50 Nm (5 - 40 ft. lbs.) range (e.g. VAG 1331).
-
Ensure spindle -A- is not tight. If necessary lubricate with MOS 2 grease. If it's tight e.g. dirty, required torque for clamp will not be achieved
in spite of correct torque settings.
