If the hinge is assembled correctly, the collar in the housing can be freely rotated in any direction at an angle corresponding to the angle of rotation of the hinge.
Assembly
Press the hinge until it stops.
Install the retaining ring.
Pressing on the inner CV joint

Note: The chamfer of the CV joint spline hole must face the spline end of the drive shaft.
Crimping the clamp on the outer hinge
Fig. 3.112. Installing the collet chuck
Install the collet chuck as shown in Figure 3.112.
In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the crimping edges of the pliers are adjacent to the base of the protrusion B of the clamp.
Tighten the clamp by turning the lead screw with a torque wrench (without turning the pliers).
Note: Since the material of the dust cover (compared to rubber) it is quite rigid and requires a high-quality steel clamp to secure it. This clamp can only be crimped with pliers.
Tightening torque: 25 Nm.
Use a torque wrench C with an adjustment range of 5.50 N·m (for example, a torque wrench).
Make sure that the lead screw A of the pliers moves without jamming. If necessary, apply a small amount of MOS 2 grease.

If rotation is difficult, for example due to contamination of the thread, the required clamping force is not achieved at the specified tightening torque (fig. 3.113).
