Thanks Mike and Randall. I did go back and line up my arrows, then took it
to a driveline place this afternoon. Came back two hours later, and it was
all balanced. $30. I felt good.
Got home and looked it over. They had unscrewed the removable flange and
put it back on again, only they didn't match up the arrows.
Oh well, I presume (optimistically) that they balanced it in the format it's
in now. I'll know in a year or so when it's on the road.

had to be straightened before it could be balanced. Balancing was $36 and
straightening was $36 so pretty inexpensive.
