best way is to count number of teeth on ring gear and on pinion gear

put a lug nut on one of the studs and mark one side of the yolk, then turn it and count how many times the yolk makes a complete circle until the lug nut goes bac to the position it was in when u started ............................


so if the yolk turns four and and a half times to make the lug nut come bac to the spot where u started it it would be a 4:56 to 1 gear ratio ......... make sense?

number of teeth on your ring gear divided by the number of teeth on your pinion gear = gear ratio
