I can absolutely confirm- this WORKS. I watched this vid last night, it 'sorta' made sense but I told myself, I'll try it tomorrow and see what happens. I widened the hole about 5/16" being careful not to go too deep because I didn't want to disturb where the actual 'head of the pin' was going to rest. I just left enough room so the little shaft didn't run against anything. ONLY the point was touching the cone assembly. Well- right away, I could tell there was a huge difference. The cone assembly didn't 'settle' right away- and that was without the wheel even being placed in position. Then I put on a wheel that was supposed to be 'balanced' - not even close. I removed all the weights I put on and started all over only this time, with this 'new' setup- I got it right. I did both front tires, took the car for a ride- no vibration @ 50MPH- no vibration @90MPH. I was beside myself. Anyway- THANK YOU for making this vid.

I’ve gotta say, I bought an Amazon balancer and I was not happy with how it was not moving as freely as I thought it should with a heavy wheel on it. I saw several different mods on various videos but this one seemed logical and the simplest to try. It worked wonders for me! It’s so free now, even a light breeze makes it swing.

I went backwards. Started out with a 1/2" to hog out some material then to a 3/8" and then a 1/4". I went as deep as I could without touching the center point. Just take it slow and check to make sure you don't go too far. I basically stopped when I could get the centering cone to swing freely. If you go too far and kiss the center point, stop and check to see if it it swings freely and see if it centers. If it does you'll be ok👍

If your bubble is inside that circle, you are good to go. There is so much unsprung weight in those old wheels and suspension that you don't have to be perfect. Most balance issues will show up at the 55/60 mph mark. If you are smooth there, you are good. Bubble balance takes care of the static balance which is 95% of the issue. Splitting the weight between the inside and outside takes care of the dynamic balance for the most part, the last 5%. Great video!

Whatever dude, anyone who listens to anything that this guy says is foolish. You shouldn’t drill down into the cone . The manufacturer has designed this product in a certain way and when you go modifying it based off what people like this guy says, well you’re making a mistake. It just goes back to the old saying that you shouldn’t believe everything that you see on the internet. Trust the manufacturer, not this guy. If he wants to design a wheel balancer based on his belief system then he should do that. When you deviate from the design of the manufacturer based off of what this guy is saying, then how are to know if it’s correct? Because if something goes wrong and you crash your vehicle, this guy is not going pay for your damages or medical bills. Trust the manufacturer, not this clown

I first seen one of these years ago when I was in the RAAF, you use it by just lifting the tyre off the ground then you bring this thing up to the tyre and turn it on it spins the tyre so you can see where to add your weights and by doing it this way it takes of wear in you hubs, brakes and any other wear so everything is in balance.

Good video! I like your tip about modifying the hole on the head, as I found the same problem with my HF balancer. I wish I had my dad's old Ammco Tools bubble balancer. Far more accurate. It had a more sensitive bubble (10 minutes of angle) and instead of a centering cone, it had a variety of adaptor plates with pins that centered the wheel on the lug holes. My dad worked for Ammco for many years. While your 'Y-method' of applying weights will allow you to adjust balance to a fraction of an ounce, this kind of accuracy isn't necessary on a 50 pound wheel assembly. In fact, picking up a couple of stones will throw the balance off by more than that. Tire dealers did this in the old days because they charged by how much or how many weights they put on. More weights = more money.

I bought one of these off Amazon and thought it moved pretty freely. enlarged the hole a bit and it wobbles around for a long time now. Just mounted and balanced a set of tires the other day and I feel a little bit of a rumble on most roads, not very noticeable but I think I can make it better. Can't really say it was the balancers fault as 2 of the tires balanced ok with the weights from the previous tires so I let those fly and probably shouldn't have. Gonna give the Y method a try.

Sounds great. Maybe the Y method would square it away!

@@madgingercustoms I re did the tire balance with the Y method and it's smooth as glass up to 75 MPH and that's all the faster I was able to get up to because of traffic. Honestly the car is smoother than the last set of tires I put on it that were professionally mounted and balanced. I went with the Summit ultramax a/s from Amazon for tires.

I did read the patent filed 1957 for the Y method, the purpose was to enable a tire shop to only need to stock 3 different weights and still be able to balance any wheel. 0.6 oz & 1.6 oz & 2.25 oz. With normal balance method a shop would need to stock many different weights.

Outstanding video! I've watched countless video's on how to fix the HF bubble balancers and saw everything from glass to lasers used to retrofit the things to get them to work when all we have to do is step drill the hole up to 3/8". Simple fix that doesn't cost anything but my time. Thank you for showing us this mod.

Glad I got to see your video on this. I'm going to do that to my balancer. I thought that's what was wrong with mine, but I just wiggled and spun my tires a few times just to be sure that they will center each time. After 3 times then I marked the spot and then put my weights on. I balance my tires every time I rotate them.

@madgingercustoms most definitely. Nothing there to bind it up.
