I'm getting closer to rebuilding my spare rear end. It's going to be great switching out from 2:78 to 3:55's.
I'm just wondering if anyone has used an inexpensive pinion depth tool. Something like this:

Of course, a good one costs 500.00- 1000.00. I'm sure that if someone was doing it for a living, they would buy one of those.
Frankly, I'd leave it up to someone else to do it, but in calling around, the local shops couldn't even give me a timeframe of when they could do it.
I did see one guy on youtube who used a caliper tool, with a strip of metal bolted to the housing. He measured from the metal down to the bearing cap mating surface, zero'd out the tool at that point, and then extended it down to the pinion from there, getting the dimension.
