WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY
3. Install balance weight in the position shown.CAUTION:
• Do not install the inner bala nce weight before installing
the outer balance weight.
• Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.
• When installing balance weight (1) to road wheel, set it into the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown
so that the balance weight center (B) is aligned with the bal-
ancer machine indication position (angle) (C).
CAUTION:
• Always use genuine NISSAN adhesive balance weights.
• Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace withnew ones.
• Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.
4. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz.), install two balance weight sheets in line with each other as
shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top another.
5. Start balancer machine again.
6. Install balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the bal- ancer machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
7. Start balancer machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz.) each or below.
8. If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz.), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-6, "
General Maintenance".
• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
• Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
