I've got a Mori Seiki SL1 that I retrofitted and I'm trying to figure out how to test the backlash in the X axis. Seeing as it's an axis with lots of weight on it using the standard method of a dial indicator won't work. Any suggestions?

Should I turn the machine on and then set dial indicator and then use a small pry bar to try to push the axis up and see if the indicator works?
