Why take of the back cover?

Lock one output. Put a pointer on the input.

Turn the output 1 revolution and count the turns + degrees on the input.

By My Calcs.

3.33 = 3 rotations + 118d
3.62 = 3 rotations + 223d
3.92 = 3 rotations + 331d

So it should be fairly obvious at ~106d seperations.

Wouldn't it be half of that due to the differential? In my understanding you either have to rotate both outputs 1 rev each, or lock one output and rotate the other one two times.

(Oh, by the way, here is a classic film about the pripciple of a differential, great if you need to explain it to somebody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4JhruinbWc . Skip to 2:00 if in a hurry)

I understand what you mean, you can leave one wheel on the ground or lightly apply the handbrake to prevent rotation of the free wheel.
This is not a problem with an LSD but can be an issue with the Quaife ATB
