Eric that hand pump you used to refill the transmission with, did you make that or buy it? I’m looking to make one but what can I use? Any ideas?

I always forget the finer details. The vehicle is 4WD with ABS in the front (not 100% sure if the back does but I think it will if I go back and check once more). We have no pressure/working brakes in the rear brakes but when we apply the pedal and check the front we do. I was hoping to not have to use a scan tool but I’m afraid that its the only way I’m going to get the job done. In the meantime I’m going to manual bleed the rear brakes and then get the scan tool on the go.

Two weeks ago I actually replaced the pinion seal in the front differential because I noticed a bit of gear oil weepage around the differential casing. That was enough for me to decide to replace it. I never even thought about checking for play in the pinion gear (shame on me I know) but that is a good lesson for me. Before I replaced the pinion seal I checked the level of gear oil in the front differential casing and the level of gear oil had barely been affected but the seal had to be replaced regardless.
A couple of months ago I was replacing a U-Joint on the front drivers side, my vehicle has outboard U-Joints by the way. As I had the drivers side axle out on the workbench, I took a piece of thin metal and tryed to scrape out a bunch of dirt and crap from the differential tube because I noticed their was alot inside of there. I know for a fact I punctured the axle seal with the piece of metal because the next day I noticed some gear oil leakage from the side I replaced the U-Joint on so thats another mistake I made. Since I’m replacing one I might as well replace the other axle seal as well.
So among all of this, I’m flushing the gear oil from the front differential and replacing both axle seals. I’m trying to figure out how to measure the ring gear backlash and differential bearing preload just incase I have to take the gear assembly out of the casing and to do that I need to know how to set up the dial indicator to take those measurements ( I have one with the magnetic armature assembly)
