– Install clip.
Note
Clamping lug of clamp -arrow A- must be located between secur‐
ing flanges of joint body -arrows B-. This is the only way of
assuring that the multi-point socket head bolts can be guided cor‐
rectly when installing the drive shaft.
Tightening clamp on large diameter of inner joint
– Position clamp tensioner - V.A.G 1682- as shown in illustra‐
tion. Ensure jaws of tensioner lie in corners -arrows B- of ear
on O-type clip.
– Tighten clamp by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not
cant pliers).
Note
Due to the hard material of the protective boot (compared to
♦
rubber) and the necessity of using a stainless steel clamp, it
is only possible to tension the clamp with clamp tensioner -
V.A.G 1682- .
Specified torque: 25 Nm.
♦
Use torque wrench -C- with adjustment range 5 ... 50 Nm, (e.g.
♦
torque wrench - V.A.G 1331- ).
Ensure that the spindle thread -A- moves smoothly. Apply
♦
MOS 2 grease if necessary.
If the spindle is tight owing to the thread being dirty, for exam‐
♦
ple, the force required to tighten the clip will not be attained in
spite of correct specified torque specification.
Tighten clamp on outer joint
– Apply clamp tensioner - V.A.G 1682- as illustrated. Ensure
jaws of tensioner lie in corners -arrows B- of ear on O-type clip.

cant pliers).
