WHEELS AND TYRES
Wheel: Balancing
35A
aIn some countries, the use of lead weights is forbid-
den; in this case it is recommended to use ZAMAK
weights instead.
Only use weights provided by the Parts Department.
aRemove the wheels (see 35A, Wheels and tyres,
Wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 35A-1) .
aAlways clean the wheel, disc, and hub bearing sur-
faces.
III - PROCEDURE FOR BALANCING THE WHEEL IN
QUESTION
aMake sure that the wheel balancer bearing surface
and all the centring equipment (ring, thrust plate,
etc.) are kept clean.
aTry not to scratch the (alloy) wheel rim with the
wheel tightening device.aThe wheel is fitted on the wheel balancer as follows:
- (5) ring,
- (6) wheel balancer back-plate,
- (7) wheel tightening device (certain alloy wheels
require a device 200 mm in diameter to ensure that
the wheel has been correctly tightened),
- (8) outer wheel plane,
- (9) wheel.
aPlace the wheel on the wheel balancer, with the
valve at the top, then lock the wheel in place.
aRemove any stones trapped in the tyre tread.
