• 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. When doing this, make sure that edges of clamping pliers are seated in corners - arrows B - of clamp.
- Tension clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not tilt clamp tool).
• 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 (V.A.G 1682).
• Tightening specification: 25 Nm.
• Use torque wrench - C - with adjustment range 5 to 50 Nm (for example, (V.A.G 1331) ).
• Be sure thread of spindle - A - of clamp tool moves freely. Grease with MOS 2 grease if necessary.
• If the thread is tight e.g. dirty, the required tensioning force for the hose clamp will not be achieved in spite of correct torque specification settings.
