Hi Steve
I normally put a bit more “blue” on several teeth of the pinion. Bolt everything together including a spare gasket then turn the crown wheel using the pinion but putting a little bit of resistance By holding the half shaft tapers ( on early axles you can hold the crown wheel through the inspection plate). Take everything apart and inspect the crown wheel for the mesh pattern.
I couldn’t open your video but the photo seems to show that the teeth aren’t really meshing at all?
You are correct in thinking that you need to move the adjusters every time you move the pinion. Last time I did this it took me nearly a whole day. I was a bit fed up by the end ?. It still wasn’t perfect as the crown wheel and pinion were second hand and had some wear.
Good luck
Cheers
Howard
