Eric's photo shows the original transmission backlash tools. I flipped mine to show their other side.

The tools are complicated because they're designed to be used with assembled differentials, and axles in place.
You can make a simpler tool to check the backlash with an empty differential.

Any chance you have a spare indicator setup Eric or John?
