How To Use a Pinion Depth Gauge

How To Use a Pinion Depth Gauge

For me, using a pinion depth gauge is the best way to measure pinion depth and finding the perfect pinion shim. It’s way more accurate than going by gear tooth pattern and saves a bunch of time. In this video I show you how to set up and use the tool to measure pinion depth in just about any differential.

I hope you find this information useful!
