Along this same topic..
An a/s dealer,vintage parts supplier,told me that when installing new
tires,one should balance the entire wheel with the brake drum attached,as
trailers are very sensitve to tire balance.Not having started brake rehab
yet,I dunno whats in there,but having removed drums this way on old cars,I
can visualize process.
But if anyone has done it,I would appreciate walking me thru it,verbally.
Most important,Is it neccesary,and spin or bubble balance?
