if it's been run while bent, i wouldn't trust the other half anyway. I have no idea how much use my 7-inch dia driven saw with it's previus owner, but it started chewing up belts. turns out the rivets were loosening up and it had cracks radiating out from all of them, both sides. Play it safe--you're better off just replacing the entire driven. If you've ever seen a torn grinding disc chunk fly off a grinder, imagine that occurring with a piece of jagged steel.
