| –
| Tighten clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not cant pliers). |
Note | t
| Given the firmness of the material (in comparison with the rubber) of the union dustguard, a stainless steel clamp is required, this can only be tightened using the pliers -V.A.G 1682-. |
| t
| Use torque wrench -C- with adjustment range 5 … 50 Nm, (e.g. torque wrench -V.A.G 1331-). |
| t
| Make sure thread of spindle -A- on pliers moves freely. Lubricate with MoS2 grease if necessary. |
| t
| If the thread does not turn easily due to dirt, for example, it will not be possible to tension the clamp to the prescribed torque. |
| t
| Tightening torque: min. 12 Nm |
