You can certainly do it by counting teeth--it's the number of teeth in
the ring gear divided by the number on the pinion. You can count them
in place by marking the driveshaft and the, tire then have someone
rotate the tire ten revolutions while you count the driveshaft
revolutions. 41 driveshaft revolutions equals 4.11, 37 = 3.7, etc. You
do it for ten revolutions because it's hard to see the difference
between 3.7 revolutions and 3.9. You can do it for fewer tire revs but
ten makes the math easy.
