REMOVAL

1. Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal procedures.

2. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

● After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road wheel.

WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

● If a tyre balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,

select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.

1. Set road wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tyre balance machine.

2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer unbal-

ance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with

a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the

designated angle in relation to the road wheel.

CAUTION:

● Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.

● Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.

Indicated unbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed

Calculation example:

23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance

weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)

Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated bal-

ance weight value.

Example:

37.4 = 35 g (1.23 oz)

37.5 = 40 g (1.41 oz)

● Attach weight as shown in figure.

● When attaching weight to road wheel, align it with step on rear

surface of wheel, as shown in figure. Attach so that center of

weight and position (angle) of wheel balancer indicator are

aligned.

● Do not attach more than 2 adhesive weights.
