I need some advice on the most accurate way of getting the measurement of "A" on a carrier I just pulled out.

I've got a digital caliper and my first thought was to set the carrier on a desk (or something) so that, if the ring gear was still in place, the teeth would be pointing up. Then use the depth gauge portion of the caliper to find the measurement, but I'm getting quite a bit of variation (up to ~0.15"). Anybody got any ideas?

Oh yeah, and the case I'm measuring is a 706400x in case any of you have the ability to look it up.

Thanks!
