Bring down the second node using nodetool removenode or decommission
Add the node with num_tokens and run the nodetool repair.
At last run the nodetool cleanup on both the nodes (one after the other)
Observe after some time using nodetool status.

I read that there was nodetool balance kind of command in Cassandra 0.7

It never worked, really.

Is there something that we can do now balance the cluster?
Just run removenode on the two nodes with almost no data, one at a time.
Then add them back with vnodes enabled, one at a time.
As an aside, if the size of this cluster will never be greater than 9 or
so nodes, you Mostly Lose by using vnodes.
