    Tips to Balance Alloy Wheel Tyres and Refurbishing

    Jul 30, 2013 17:58 IST Tips To Balance Alloy Wheel Tyres and Refurbishing The comfort and safety of the vehicle depends on the maintenance of the tyres. Tires are quite an expensive investment so it is important to maintain and keep them well balanced to ensure a longer tread life. Well balanced tires also ensure smooth and better tracking operation. Most of the heavy vehicles manufactured in the earlier days were strong enough to dampen the vibrations caused during drives. However, the modern cars are equipped with light weight chassis which makes it quite susceptible to even the smallest intolerances such as vibrations. This explains the reason why alloy wheels need to be balanced accurately so that it offers better performance and longer durability. Alloy wheels are basically light in weight due to its unique construction designs. The magnificent wheels can be balanced perfectly for a safe and smooth drive. Important Steps to Follow: First park the car on a flat ground and loosen the lug nuts of the wheel rims using a tire iron. Make use of a floor jack to raise the vehicle off the ground without taking the wheels off completely. Suspend the car fully with the use of jack stands. Then remove the lug nuts and the all the four wheels. Clean the tires using soapy water and a brush. Residues of paint, cement and tar can be removed by using lacquer thinner. Set up a bubble balance machine for the process of balancing the alloy wheels. View the bubble through the window gauge. Adjust the knobs to ensure that the bubbles are in the middle of the cross hair.

We display the narration of the video that is obtained from Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The text is highlighted with different colors. These colors correspond to the score of the SVM that has been trained to detect sentences which refer to the action of interest. More precisely, for each word, we compute the average score over all the windows that contain it. Red indicates high score, blue indicates low score.

  • MAKING an IMPACT Impact Drivers May Look Like Small Drills, but the Similarity Ends There

    MAKING an IMPACT Impact Drivers May Look Like Small Drills, but the Similarity Ends There

    { PRODUCT REVIEW } MAKING AN IMPACT Impact drivers may look like small drills, but the similarity ends there. For decades, auto mechanics have enjoyed their high torque and unchallenged superiority in installing – and removing – fasteners with ease. As the same technology spreads to woodworkers, we’ll show you why you’ll want one in your shop. BY TIM RINEHART Panasonic Makita DeWalt Ridgid Hitachi Bosch Black & Decker EVERY NOW AND THEN A NEW TOOL COMES ALONG THAT CHANGES THE WAY WE PERFORM SOME TASK. A tool that, after you first try it, any true tool junkie absolutely has to own one. The cordless impact driver is one of those tools. When I opened the case of the first sample to arrive I thought it looked like a wimpy little drill/driver wannabe. The compact little motor couldn’t have enough power and torque to do real work, so what could I do with this thing that any of my collection of drill/drivers won’t do? The answer turned out to be drive screws and lag bolts – lots of them – into everything I could find just for the fun of it. Impact drivers use completely different mechanics than a standard drill/driver to deliver driving force. (See sidebar “How it works” on page 83) Under load, a spring is compressed which drives a hammer into an anvil to multiply torque. The extra torque is great, but there’s great side effect too: The millisecond space between impacts also lets screwdriver bits reseat themselves to full engagement with the screw head, virtually eliminating cam-out and stripped screws.
