REMOVAL
1. 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 tire 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 tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance 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 imbalance value
5/3 = balance weight to be installed.
23 g (0.81 oz)
5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40g (1.41 oz) balance
weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
37.4 = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 = 40 g (1.41 oz)
a. Install balance weight in the position shown in the figure.
b. When installing balance weight to road wheels, set it into the
grooved area on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown in the
figure so that the balance weight center is aligned with the wheel
balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Always use genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.
Balance weights are unreusable; always replace with new
ones.
Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.
c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
wheel balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual
imbalance value are 7 g (0.25 oz) each or below.
