The local stealership wanted $20 per wheel, this was just to balance only. Just plain CRAZY!!! After checking out some different homemade setups I decided to give it a go.

Parts:

1) 1ft angle iron
2)4 skateboard bearings
3) 2 bolts, 2 washers, and 2 nuts

I cut the angle iron into 2 6" sections and drilled 2 holes. Make sure to space far enough apart so the bearings are close but dont touch each other. I then notched a V between the hole. Just incase my drilling wasn't dead on. Assembled all the pieces. I used 2 jack stands and clamped bearings to it. (When I have more time I will make a stand and mount the bearings.) Just set the wheel with axle between the two bearings on each side and away you go.
