BALANCING WHEELS (ADHESIVE WEIGHT TYPE)
Preparation Before Adjustment
Remove inner and outer balance weights from the wheel and tire. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced
adhesive tape from the wheel and tire.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to scratch the wheel and tire during removal.
• After removing double-faced adh esive tape, wipe clean all traces of releasing agent from the wheel
and tire.
Wheel Balance Adjustment
CAUTION:
• DO NOT use center hole cone-type clamping machines to hold the wheel during tire removal/installa-
tion or balancing or damage to the wheel paint, cladding or chrome may result. Use only rim-type or
universal lug-type clamping machines to hold the wheel during servicing.
• If a balancer machine has an adhesive weight mode se tting, select the adhesive weight mode setting and
skip Step 2 below. If a balancer machine only has the clip -on (rim flange) weight mode setting, follow Step 2
to calculate the correct size adhesive weight.
1. Set wheel and tire on balancer machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the balancer machine. Oil capacity

2. For balancer machines that only have a clip-on (rim fl
ange) weight mode setting, follow this step to calcu-
late the correct size adhesive weight to use. W hen inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the
balancer machine indicator, multiply outer imbalance value by 5/3 (1.67) to determine balance weight that
should be used. Select the outer balance weight with a value closest to the calculated value above and
install in to the designated outer position of or at the designated angle in relation to the wheel and tire.
a. Indicated imbalance value × 5/3 (1.67) = balance weight to be
installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 (1.67) = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) ⇒ 40 g (1.41 oz)
balance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
NOTE:
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 ⇒ 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 ⇒ 40 g (1.41 oz)
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 wheel and tire.
• When installing balance weight (1) to wheel and tire, set it into the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the wheel and tire as
shown so that the balance weight center (B) is aligned with the
balancer machine indication position (angle) (C).
CAUTION:
• Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesive balance weights.
• Balance weights are non-re usable; always replace with
new ones.
• Do not install more than three sheets of balance weights.
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 weig ht sheet on top of another.
5. Start balancer machine again.
6. Install balance weight on inner side of wheel and tire 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.
