I'd chance it, just put in a new guibo & replace the bolts.

If not, I'm sure someone on here has an output flange.

Vice grips & PB Blaster or WD40.  If that doesn't do it drill a hole & take your time with an easy-out.

Hi,  I would change the flange. Best bet would be to get one from a wreckers/junkyard. Or give me your model & year and I'll get you the part no. and then a price from Pelican Parts except it will proberbly be a special order part as only BMW make it. (No aftermarket types).

That looks like what happened to one of mine, i ended up replacing the guibo, the csb, and the driveshaft
