I am in the process of building my BSR, I have a question on tire balancing.
I was able to get some stick on wheights from the local Ford Dealer for free.
I balanced the front tires using a 5/8" steel bar and it worked out great.
The rear is another matter. The 1" axle is keyed and the split hubs have a set screw and it throws the balance off. Will this matter? Should I balance the tire on the axle with the key in place - one at a time or try to balance the wheels as a set on the axle. I don't have the brake disc or gear set on it yet.
