Hi Hennie,
The "academic" method is to count the teeth on the differential gears=20
and create a ratio of the smaller to the larger.  The usual method is=20
to jack up the wheel. Mark a place on the drive shaft or U-joint.  Spin=20=

the road wheel one revolution and see how many turns the drive shaft=20
makes.  If it is a  4:7 ratio,  the drive shaft will turn a little over=20=

4 1/2 times.

Hi Hennie,

Spin the road wheel one revolution and see how many turns the drive
