Need some help. This is what it says in the Tech Tip:
Step 8 — To check the backlash, mount a dial indicator on the carrier and check the backlash between the ring gear and the pinion. It should be between .005” to .008”. If the backlash is more than .008”, loosen the right adjusting nut one notch and tighten left adjusting nut one notch. If less than .005”, loosen the left adjusting nut one notch and tighten the right one one notch.
While I have the cover off the Pinion to replace the seal. Can't I just measure the free play in the pinion shaft.
Or how is the above step 8 accomplished. In terns a beginner would understand.
