It really would depend on if that shaft has a key or not.... the later bikes have an interfearance angle of a degree or two that locks the two parts together and that is what is damaged when the flange spins...if it indeed has a key I would very much think if the key sheared the tapers could be clea...

This job is a real pain to do.... this may be a job for a professional to do...
