So....I tried the other wheel and stuck the weight between two other weights.....got worse.....So.......stuck a weight opposite on inside of rim......got better......stuck weight to left and right of that weight.....got better to right. Now I am on to something........stuck two and three weights to right......got worse. Removed one weight....PERFECT.

From now on I am balancing my own wheels

I think I was using the 1/2 oz stick on weights you can get at any auto store. The key is to mark exactly and track the out of balance as you move weights around. I used white marker to keep track. I did not try placing weights further inside the rim but that would be part of the "on the road wheel balancing also"

Now I've heard it all Very cool. I'll have to try that.

What I really want to know is how in hell you lifted that gearbox in, and out, of the back of a ZR-1 ?? My back hurts just thinking about it.

Bill and myself.....I had the shifter end and he the output shaft. I lifted up and he lifted up and out rotating as I moved shifter end out toward him.
