Measure a third

[Spud]

Is there a way to measure, or determine what gearing is in a third member, when it is "un" installed?

Thanks

The numbers on the side of the ring gear. If they are not stamped do it the same way as in a truck. Spin the pinion and count how many times it spins in one pinion revolution.

Yeah, they should be stamped on the side of the ring gear some where. Actually it'll give you the tooth count on the ring, you need to divide that by the number of teeth on the pinion, voila' gear ratio!

Cool, thanks for all the help on this and other stupid questions all.

I am learning stuff!
