Rocky Mountain Race Week Preparation: 10 Bolt Posi Install + EBC Brakes Upgrade! (Uncle Rob Yukon)

What happens here

The presenter sets up a dial indicator on the differential unit to measure the backlash. He then manually rotates the gear to observe the needle's movement, indicating the amount of play. He mentions having to consult online resources to find the correct positioning for the dial indicator and the acceptable range for backlash, as he is unsure of the exact specifications for this particular setup.

Goal: Measure the backlash in the differential to ensure proper gear mesh.
