We looked online and could not find a picture of a set-up like this so we thought it would be good to post it. This is a Dial Indicator set up on a Chrysler Mopar 8.75 (8 3/4) axle to set axle bearing preload. The axle the play is 10 to 15 thousands of an inch. Set the dial indicator up this way and wiggle the axle back and forth. It should not go less than 10 and not over 15. The picture shows something like 8 thousands which is not what you want. We had to loosen it from there until we got to about 12 thousands. The lock tab will only allow you to get one setting but you will get it somewhere in between there. For us it was 12 thousands. If you need a Dial Indicator Harbor Freight has them for $34.99 http://www.harborfreight.com/clamping-dial-indicator-93051.html
