I'm about to try for the first time. The service manual shows the procedure with the use of a stud ( specifically a slotted set screw ) threaded where the adjuster lock bolt normally goes into differential bearing cap. This seems like a good way to perform so I'd like to acquire a similar stud beforehand. Anybody know the specs on this bolt ? Anybody have experience using a magnetic base for procedure ? Comments.

mag base works good. just stick it to the housing with the mag base and measure away.. 0.002"-0.012" iirc are the specs you are looking to see [i looked them up in my 03 service manual a few weeks back so i might be a little off].
