Good luck with replacing the flange, its a major PITA! My best suggestion is take to a reputable shop, not a dealership and have them do it. it will cost a little bit, but it is worth the pain suffering you may incurr. It is a very tight area back there with a lot of sharp objects, so just be careful...
