741 - crush sleeve and shims?

My pinion depth gauge is a Vernier caliper and a push rod. And a bearing that's honed out so that you can slide it on and off of the pinion instead of having to pressure the good one on and take it off multiple times.
You bolt the pushrod across the center caps from one side to the other at an angle and then you can measure from the bottom of it to the backside of the pinion to get your depth.
