Pressing On Inner CV Joint
• Chamfer on inner diameter of ball hub (splines) must face the contact shoulder on the drive axle.
Tightening Hose Clamp on Outer Joint
- Attach (V.A.G 1682) as shown in illustration. Be sure that edges of clamping pliers are seated in corners - arrows B - of hose clamp.
- Tension clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not tilt clamp tool).
• A stainless steel clamp must be used due to hardness of CV boot material (compared to rubber). This clamp can only be tensioned using (V.A.G 1682).
• Tightening specification: 25 Nm.
• Use torque wrench - C - with adjustment range 5 to 50 Nm (e.g. (V.A.G 1331) ).
• Be sure thread of spindle - A - of clamp tool moves freely. Grease with MOS 2 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.
