1. Chock the front tires.
2. Take tranny out of gear.
3. Jack up the rear till both tires are off the ground.
4. Get a friend.
5. Have friend rotate one of the tires 1 full rev.
6. As friend rotates tire you need to be under the jeep counting how many times the pinion makes a complete rev. if it turns 4.10 times per one complete tire rev. you have 4.10's.


If this axle is on the ground...who needs friends?
