How do you set the ring and pinion on a 1978 Chevrolet pickup?

In: Chevrolet [Edit categories]

Basically you determine the proper 'pinion depth' by trail-and-error using crushabale sleeves and white grease to check the 'contact pattern'. Some mechanical tasks require specialized equipment and knowledge only OJT can provide.
