Pinion shaft diameter

[Roger]

     I have now dismantled the back axle and found that the run out on the crown wheel was in excess of 0.020”.
 Also the six bolts of the carrier were very difficult to remove because of the misalignment of the two halves of the carrier.
I have now found a replacement carrier which gives about 0.005” run out.
I am now assembling this, here is a photo of the result so far, could I have some views of where to go next. Do I need to move the pinion in more or does this look acceptable?
There is a distinct line where the blue lines up with the lower edge of the previous wear marks on the teeth.
This is my first attempt at rebuilding a diff so any help would be appreciated.
