-arrows B-. – Tighten hose clip by turning spindle with a torque wrench (do not cant pliers). Note ♦ Because a stainless steel hose clip is required due to the hard material of the joint boot (compared to rubber), it is possible to tighten the hose clip only with special pliers -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- ). ♦ Make sure thread of spindle -A- on pliers moves freely. Lubri‐ cate with MoS2 grease if necessary. ♦ If the thread is tight (e.g. due to dirt), the required clamping force for the clip will not be attained although the correct torque is applied.
