• Pry [A] the balance weight off the rim flange using a regular<br />

tip screwdriver as shown in the figure.<br />

○Insert a tip of the screwdriver between the tire bead [B]<br />

and weight blade [C] until the end of the tip reaches the<br />

end of the weight blade.<br />

○Push the driver grip toward the tire so that the balance<br />

weight slips off the rim flange.<br />

• Discard the used balance weight.<br />

Balance Weight Installation<br />

• Check if the weight portion has any play on the blade and<br />

clip.<br />

If it does, discard it.<br />

WARNING<br />

If the balance weight has any play on the rim, the<br />

blade and/or clip of the weight have been stretched.<br />

Replace the loose balance weight.<br />

Do not reuse used balance weight.<br />

Unbalanced wheels can create an unsafe riding<br />

condition.<br />

• Lubricate the balance weight blade, tire bead, and rim<br />

flange with a soap and water solution or rubber lubricant.<br />

This helps the balance weight slip onto the rim flange.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Never lubricate with engine oil or petroleum distillates<br />

because they will deteriorate the tire.
