Place the template in the center of the wheel well, making sure that the arrow on the template is aligned with the air valve stem, as shown in Figure 2. Using a center punch and hammer, punch two drill guide marks exactly through the center of each (+) sign on the template. The guide marks are 5 inches apart, which is the correct center-to-center distance for mounting the wheel weights.
