Radial balancing clip weight for rotor assembly

A method for balancing a rotor disc having two opposed faces and an axially extending flange projecting from one of the two opposed faces of the disc and circularly extending thereon, an edge of the flange having at least one recess, the flange having a groove discontinuously extending about a circumference thereof, the method comprising:

• abutting a balancing weight clip against the flange of the rotor disc, the balancing weight clip having a weight portion and a first flange engaging portion and a second flange engaging portion extending from the weight portion, each being engageable with a sidewall of at least one recess, and each being provided with a hook engageable with the groove of the flange, at least one of the first and second flange engaging portions being elastically deformable so that the first and second flange engaging portions are elastically moveable away from one another to removably secure the balancing weight clip to the flange and engage each hook with the mating groove, the balancing weight clip having a weight adapted to balance the rotor assembly, the abutting the balancing weight clip comprising abutting each hook against a sidewall of the at least one recess of the flange;
• and
• exerting a force on the weight portion towards the flange in order to engage the hooks with the groove and removably secure the balancing weight clip to the flange, the exerting the force resulting in elastically moving away the first and second flange engaging portions from one another.
