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.

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.
