Change the companion flange over from the original.. Provided theyre both fine spline it will swap. Rattle gun the big nut off, swap it over, torque flange nut to 200nm, restake nut, install drive shaft.. Done.

There is DEFINITELY a multi-drilled flange for the 82 diff that includes the 73 bolt pattern.

AND, if you buy a new 82 flange aftermarket, it will be round, where you can drill your own bolt patterns regardless.

re fj45 disc brakes

how tight do you retighten pinion bolt and how do you stop pinion moving,tailshaft out would i lock hubs?

 

[vk7ybi]

You cant be reading what people are telling you.. To hold the companion flange, make a tool that fits two bolt holes on the flange, that you can bolt to the flange to stop it rotating, while you torque it to the value I posted above. Its not a bolt, its a nut.

i agree with the stuff above easy job to do just find something to hold the flange yes its hard to torque the nut so i used a floor jack under my torque wrench handle hey have you seen my period key?

 

[fj45350]
