Hmmm, interesting. My thoughts are that there is too much runout in that wheel. I've always thought that about .002" was the accepted number. How much more than that would cause your problem, I guess I'm not too sure. But, I think your .008" is way too much. That said, taking off the few thousands to true it up, I wouldn't think it would need to be rebalanced. Personally I would try that. I understand your predicament, time is money and we know how much time it takes to pull these critters back apart. I'm sure we'll all be interested to hear about the outcome.
