It's not perfect, but i as a rookie driver i do'nt have the experience to feel if the diff is set right.

But a real tool for it can be made i think. just have something you can attach at the place where the wheels normally go. And than you turn the diff and the device measures the amount op power needed to turn it one full cycle.
Something like that could work i think.
I think a torque wrench would work.. just put it on the wheel nut, and hold one wheel, then just see when the torque wrench slips... but.. then again.. torque wrenches are expensive, and do they make them that small with that such small presure changes?

ReneC help us out here, make something :P
