5.7
Fixing wheels on wheel balancer's holders
5.7.1
Car wheel
Figure 5.7 shows four stages of mounting a car wheel on the wheel balancer's holder.
Firstly, one has to slide the wheel on the radix of the holder (fig. 5.7(a)) and hang its hole's
edge on the centering cone (fig. 5.7(2)). Secondly, place the collar of the nut in
CLEARANCE position and slide the nut on the radix until there is no more space
(fig.
5.1(c)).
Then, using left hand to lift the wheel, place the thumb on the stud of the nut,
move the collar to the left to CLAMP position and screw the nut pressing to the flange of
the holder (fig. 5.7(2)).

Figure 5.8 shows two stages of dismounting a car wheel from the wheel balancer's
holder. In order to dismount the wheel, place the holder's collar in CLEARANCE position
(fig. 5.8(a)) and then turn the nut a little (fig. 5.8(2))- When it becomes loose, one can
slide the nut and the wheel from the holder.
