3. Install balance weight in the position shown.

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 road wheel.

• When installing balance weight (1) to road wheel, set it into the

grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown

so that the balance weight center (B) is aligned with the bal-

ancer machine indication position (angle) (C).

CAUTION:

• Always use genuine NISSAN adhesive balance weights.

• Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace with

new ones.

• Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.

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 weight sheet on top another.

5. Start balancer machine again.
6. Install balance weight on inner side of road wheel 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.

Rotation

TIRE ROTATION

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

MA-5, "FOR NORTH AMERICA

: General Maintenance"

 (FOR NORTH AMERICA), 

MA-7, "FOR MEXICO : General Maintenance"

 (FOR

MEXICO). 

• Rotate the wheel and tires front to back in the pattern as shown.

When installing the wheel and tires, tighten the wheel nuts diago-

nally to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

• Do not include the spare wheel and tire when rotating the

wheel and tires.

WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY

• When installing the wheel nuts, tighten 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 the wheel nuts to a torque exceeding specification to prevent strain on the

disc rotor.

• Use genuine NISSAN wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.

REMOVAL

CAUTION:

• DO NOT use center hole cone-type clamping machines to hold the wheel assembly during tire

removal/installation 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 assembly during servicing.

1. Deflate tire. Unscrew transmitter nut and allow transmitter to fall into tire.
2. Gently bounce tire so that transmitter falls to bottom of tire.

Place wheel and tire assembly on tire changing machine and

break both tire beads. Make sure that the transmitter remains at

the bottom of the tire while breaking the bead.

3. Turn tire so that valve hole is at bottom, and gently bounce the

tire to make sure transmitter is near valve hole. Carefully lift tire

onto turntable and position valve hole (and transmitter) 270

degrees from mounting/dismounting head.

4. Lubricate the tire well with a suitable non silicone lubricant, and

remove top side of tire. Reach inside the tire and remove the

transmitter.

CAUTION:

• Do not use silicone lubricant. Use of silicone lubricant will

deteriorate the tire and wheel.

5. Remove the second side of the tire as normal.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

• DO NOT use center hole cone-type clamping machines to hold the wheel assembly during tire

removal/installation 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 assembly during servicing.

1. Place first side of tire onto rim.

TRANSMITTER

2. Mount transmitter on rim and slowly tighten transmitter nut to

specification.

CAUTION:

• Do not over tighten transmitter nut.

• Do not use silicone lubricant. Use of silicone lubricant will

deteriorate the tire and wheel.

• Do not reuse seal.

3. Place wheel on turntable of tire machine. Make sure that trans-

mitter is 270 degrees from mounting/dismounting head.

NOTE:

Do not touch transmitter with mounting head.

4. Lubricate tire well with a suitable non silicone lubricant, and

install second side of tire as normal. Make sure that tire does not

rotate relative to rim.

CAUTION:

• Do not use silicone lubricant. Use of silicone lubricant will

deteriorate the tire and wheel.

5. Inflate tire and balance the wheel and tire assembly. Refer to

WT-48, "Balancing Wheels"

.

6. Install wheel and tire assembly in appropriate wheel position on vehicle.

NOTE:

If replacing the transmitter, then transmitter wake up operation must be performed. Refer to 

WT-5, "Trans-

mitter Wake Up Operation"

.

7. Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to 

BRC-8, "ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE
