setting pinion depth with depth tool

In the video I am explaining how to set the depth of pinion gear when changing ring and pinion with universal pinion depth tool.

Thanks for this video. Watched parts of 3 and 4 times. This is just what I needed. Thank you

I've been looking at the T&D pinion depth tool, but it didn't look like it was all that much more difficult to set up this much cheaper version. Now I'm torn if the extra cost is going to really be worth it for the few axles I do. Thanks for the demo.

I like your video. I got the same set up tool last week I want to know how you got the dial indicator to sat on that bracket in the housing did you drill a hole and put a screw in it. let me know so i can do the same thing. thank you waiting for your reply

Hi Randy. Fantastic video, but you lost me in one place: At 5:03 you call out 1.527". But the way I'm reading the dial gauge, I'm reading 1.572", a difference of over 0.050". What am I missing here? Thanks!

Can you basically do this procedure you showed here on a 12 bolt, on a 10 bolt?

So I’m changing my gears from a 3.55 to 3.73 on a 2006 ford mustang GT 8.8 differential, I’m stuck on my pinion part I put 0.030inchs shim on the pinion gear but my old pinion shim was a 0.023 but after installing the 0.030 shim on my pinion gear and getting the pre load at 28 inch lbs rotating force, my pinion gear is getting stuck on the LSD Carrier……… bearings are new, could my problem be that I use to much shims for my pinion gear that why it touches the carrier??

How do you calibrate The pressure on the carrier bearings with shim's

Seems a lot of sodding around just to make the back wheels go round. I bet the factory made cars don't go to all that bother for Joe Public to drive around in. Regards from Australia.
