How to check pinion depth

In this video we will show you how to check differential pinion depth using a special measuring tool! This can help prevent you from removing pinion shim 100 times and losing your mind!

Those gears will be turning nice and smooth, great video!

When you use the gauge block to set the dial at 3.375, you apply pressure to the plunger, set the tension screw, and the reset your dial to "0". Thats how the toolmaker told me to do it.

Out of curiosity, don't you have to add in the thickness of the magnet that you stuck onto the face of the pinion gear? or does the set gauge compensate for that?

The magnet is already factored in. I believe it says that somewhere in the paperwork, otherwise you would definitely need to subtract thickness
