Before installing on constant velocity joint, coat sealing surface with D-3
Joint protective boots made from rubber are tightened with pliers VAG 1275.
The instructions in Fig. 1 are only for hose clamps made from stainless steel!
Fig. 1 Tightening hose clamp on outer joint
-
Install tensioning clamp VAG 1682 as shown in illustration. Thereby ensure that the jaws of the tension clamp seat in the corners (arrow B) of the
hose clip.
-
Tighten hose clamp by turning the spindle with a torque wrench (do not bend tensioning clamp).
Notes:
^
The hard material of the joint boot (compared to rubber) makes it necessary to use a stainless steel hose clamp, it is only possible to tighten the
hose clamp with tensioning clamp VAG 1682.
^
Tightening torque: 20 Nm.
^
Use torque wrench with 5...50 Nm range (e.g. VAG 1331).
^
Make sure the spindle thread is not tight. If necessary lubricate with MOS 2 grease
^
If the thread is tight e.g. dirty, the required tensioning force for the hose clamp will not be achieved in spite of correct tightening torque
settings.
Fig. 2 Pressing off outer constant velocity joint
-
Clamp drive shaft in vice using vice clamps.
-
Remove hose clip and slide back boot.
-
