Pic. 3.109. The correct position of the Belleville spring of the inner CV joint: 1 - Belleville spring
Pic. 3.110. The correct position of the Belleville spring and thrust washer of the outer CV joint: 1 - Belleville spring; 2 - thrust washer
If the hinge is assembled correctly, then the cage in the body can be freely rotated in any direction by an angle corresponding to the angle of rotation of the hinge.
Assembly
Press the joint in until it stops.
Install retaining ring.
Pressing on inner CV joint
Pic. 3.111. Pressing on inner CV joint
Note: The chamfer of the CV joint spline must face the splined end of the drive shaft.
Clamp crimp on outer hinge
Pic. 3.112. Installing the collet
Install the collet clamp as shown in Figure 3.112.
At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the crimping edges of the pliers are adjacent to the base of the protrusion B of the clamp.
Crimp the clamp by turning the lead screw with a torque wrench (without turning the pliers).
Note: Since the material of the boot (compared to rubber) quite rigid, it requires a clamp made of stainless steel for its fastening. Such a clamp can only be crimped with pliers.
Tightening torque: 25 Nm.
Use a torque wrench C with an adjustment range of 5.50 Nm (e.g. torque wrench).
Make sure that the lead screw A of the pliers moves without jamming. Apply a small amount of MOS 2 lubricant if necessary.

If rotation is difficult, e.g. due to contamination of the thread, the required tightening force of the clamp is not achieved with the specified tightening torque (pic. 3.113).
