In assessing high and low note that this is relative to the possible extreme contact area; there is considerable air space in the valley floor. The backlash figure is a vital guide with new gears. Minimum must be maintained always but if significantly worn ithe ideal will likely be increased; the pattern is first factor.
The Youtube videos adopt remarkably large adjustment increments. I dunno just how applicable hypoid diags are to spiral bevel.
The diagrams above curiously show the drive side of cw teeth as concave?
Note that 42:8 diffs teeth do not "hunt", every pinion tooth does not contact every cw tooth. Can get different wear in the two sets of mesh which can be very confusing!
The various Youtube videos are entertaining but the maker's enthusiam often exceeds knowledge or skill. One on a Mustang diff, they use a bearing crudely relieved to simplify repeat assembly, but, except for final pattern, do not check that its assembled dimension same as the new one used.
