damage on left rear wheel and flange

[ficus]

Hi I have removed my rear wheel for a tire change, after inspection I saw that the Final drive flange had little of the top part of 2 teeth missing maby 1 mm or so and in the part of the wheel where the right side bearing is installed is there some dents in the metal.

soo how important is the damage so can I drive on it right now and change later ?

Looks fine except for the bone dry splines. Be sure to lube them up with Moly Paste. (Honda M-77 or better)

Thank you, the spline has now been lubed
