Halfshaft pilot bearing depth?

[black1985gt]

Good morning everyone. I'm in the process of rebuilding my diff and foolishly assumed the halfshaft bearings were seated in the housing. So I pulled them out without measuring the depth. Does anyone happen to have their axles out and the ability to measure the depth of the bearings? Or better yet, work at Ford and be able to give me the dimensions of the Ford tool used to press them in? I could make my own tool on the lathe at work pretty easily.

The debth of the half shaft bearings is: 5/8” in from outer housing surface.
