Tensioning Clamp for Outer CV Joint Boot

- Attach the (VAG 1682) as shown in illustration. Be sure that the edges of the (VAG 1682) are seated in the corners - arrows B - of the hose clamp.

- Tension the clamp by turning the spindle with a torque wrench (do not tilt clamp tool).

• A stainless steel clamp must be used due to hardness of the CV joint boot material (compared to rubber). This clamp can only be tensioned using (VAG 1682).

• Tightening specification: 25 Nm.

• Use a torque wrench - C - with an adjustment range of 5-50 Nm (e.g. (VAG 1331)).

• Be sure the threads of the spindle - A - on the (VAG 1682) move freely. Grease with MOS 2 grease if necessary.

• If they do not move freely, e.g. due to dirt in the threads, the required clamp tension will not be achieved at the tightening specification.
