How do you set pinion depth with crush sleeves?
You need to hand tighten the pinion nut w/o the sleeve so that it has approximately the correct preload and then check the pinion depth by reading the gear pattern. Once the pinion depth is correct, then crush the sleeve to set the pinion preload. Then all that is left is setting the backlash and carrier preload.
