‹› CV Joint Boot Clamp Tool (V.A.G 1682)
‹› Torque Wrench (V.A.G 1331)
Mount and tension stainless steel clamps using CV Joint Boot Clamp Tool (V.A.G 1682) as illustrated.
-
Use CV Joint Boot Clamp Tool (V.A.G 1682) as shown in illustration. Be sure that edges of clamping pliers are seated in corners - arrows B - of
hose clamp.
-
Tighten the clamp by turning the spindle using a torque wrench - C - (do not tilt the pliers).
‹› 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.
Mount and tension the clamp with the retaining tabs using Pliers (3340) as illustrated.
