a little off topic, but do any of you have the sticky stuff still on the rim, when they take the weights off??

the jackarse at tire kingdom tried to take a weight off once with a crow bar and jacked up the rim, ****ed me off royaly.

aren't they supposed to use a special plier and special nissan glue remover (in addition to special nissan glue)?
I'd post the balancing page from the service manual but the server's messed up

I just got new tires so I had to kinda rebalance.

You cannot put clamp style on the outside of the rim, I don't know about the inside.

All of mine are stickies.
