You'll need a balancing jig, to balance the fan/hub/pulley assembly.  HF
sells one for balancing motorcycle tires (but the one I got had a stiff
bearing that had to be replaced).

Instructions are in the TR3 workshop manual, page C9.

After all that, mine seemed to be adequately balanced without any weights.
But it still didn't cool enough in prolonged stop-and-go traffic, so I
eventually installed an electric fan instead.
