Put your rims through your arm and spin it to see where you need to add weight, that's what I always do and save a few bugs.

Seriously no, just take it to the shop and let the machine do it.

You can rotate by yourself, but you can't re-balance your tires; as stated by everyone else in the thread Might as well have the shop do both.
