M104.98x Broken distributor flange

Well this is the first time I ever saw that happening:

The distributor flange was badly rusted to camshaft, The Torx bolt thats holding the flange into the camshaft came out surpassingly easy (wasn't loose and wasn't too tight). After removing the bolt I realized that the flange is absolutely frozen.. I soaked it in Kroil and made a slide hammer using some bolts and a pulley which worked surpassingly well and broke the ears off the flange. Now what? I was thinking of tapping the inside and using a bolt in the center along with a slide hammer...

MY FEAR is that the clown that was in there before never torqued the torx screw and now the flange is stuck against the locating pin of the camshaft..

Any input will be highly appreciated
