Well a few tools I used in school was a shim pack tool to get a idea of what kind of shims to use for the two bearing at the end of the case . A dial indicator to set backlash and some white grease to check gear contact.

I beleive the name of the tools are (i) a dial guage and a (ii) magnetic base with an arm that positions the guage where you need it.

Verdad Gallardo got a website for T&D mzoomora? thanks guys ill do some looking. i may just have to make some calls to these places, im sure they have sources. i figured if the tool didnt cost a lot id do it that way instead of trial and error or going off the main cap pads, which isnt right since the bearing lands are line bored with the caps on. that puts the centerline of the axles/ carrier not on the split of the caps to housing. at least thats what ive been told. thanks again.
