When installing balance weight (1) to road wheels, set it into the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the road wheel as
shown in the figure so that the balance weight center (B) is
aligned with the tire balance machine indication position
(angle) (C).
CAUTION:
Always use genuine NISSAN ad hesion balance weights.
Balance weights are non-re usable; always replace with
new ones.
Never install more than four 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:
Never install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start the tire balance machine again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the tire balance machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Never install more than two balance weight.
5. Start the tire balance machine. Check that the inner and outer residual unbalance value is within the allowable unbalance
value.
CAUTION:
If either residual unbalan ce value exceeds limit, repeat installation procedures.
Tire RotationINFOID:0000000006225546
Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-4, "
Explanation of General Maintenance".
When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified torque. Refer to WT-64, "
Exploded View".
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighte n 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 wh eel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria.
Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
Perform the ID registration, after tire rotation. Refer to WT-29,
"Work Procedure".
