Balancing Wheels

ELS001OZ

WHEEL BALANCE REMOVAL

1.

Remove wheel and tire using power tool.

2.

Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the wheel.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the
wheel.

WHEEL BALANCE INSTALLATION AND 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 wheels.

1.

Set wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.

2.

When inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer imbal-
ance value by 1.6 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with

a value closest to the calculated value and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the desig-
nated 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 wheel.

Indicated imbalance value

×

5/3 = balance weight to be installed

Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz)

×

5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (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.
Example:
37.4 g = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 g = 40 g (1.41 oz)

a.

Install balance weight in the position shown.

b.

When installing balance weight to wheels, set it into the grooved
area on the inner wall of the wheel as shown so that the balance
weight center is aligned with the wheel balancer indication posi-
tion (angle).

CAUTION:

Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.

Balance weights are not reusable; always replace with
new ones.

Do not install more than three sheets of balance weights.

c.

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 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 values are 5 g (0.18 oz) each or below.

If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.18 oz), repeat installation procedures.

Wheel Balance (Maximum Allowable Imbalance)

Tire Rotation

ELS001P0

1.

Rotate the tires on each side from front to back as shown, using
power tool.

Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service
intervals. Refer to

MA-5, "GENERAL MAINTENANCE"

.

Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.

CAUTION:

When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by divid-
ing the work two to three times in order to prevent the
wheels from developing any distortion.

2.

Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to

WT-31, "Tire"

.

3.

After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles),
and also after a wheel and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat tire.

Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks

ELS001P1

Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir tank.

Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leaks.

If the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system.

If the brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid is at the cor-
rect level, check the brake fluid level switch and the parking
brake switch.

Checking Brake Lines and Cables

ELS001P2

1.

Check the brake lines and hoses for cracks, deterioration, and
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.

CAUTION:

If brake fluid leaks are visible around the brake line joints,
retighten the joint, or replace damaged parts as necessary.

2.

Check for brake fluid leaks by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.

Maximum allowable imbalance

Dynamic (at rim flange)

5 g (0.18 oz) (one side)

Static

10 g (0.35 oz)
