If a unit is charged in both front and flank and suffers wounds. Are you allowed to remove models from the flank to bring that unit out of combat?
If yes it's flank bonus removed from combat result and is it allowed to combat reform?

Models are always removed from the back rank. The only way for casualties to remove a flanking unit from combat is if you are removing models from the front rank, and the flanking unit cannot move forward to maintain contact (i.e. blocked by terrain, in combat with another unit).

No. - BRB p. 5: When casualties occur, models are removed from the back rank of the unit. If the unit is reduced to a single rank, casualties must be removed evenly from either end of the line.
Even if you are required to remove casualties from the flanks, this will not lead to bring a unit out of combat. - BRB p. 61: Occasionally, a situation can arise when one or more units are no longer in base contact with the enemy, but at least part of the enemy unit is still alive. [...] Whenever a unit becomes stranded in this manner, the attacking unit is immediately nudged (by as small an amount as possible) to bring it back into contact with the foe. This move cannot be used to alter the facing the attacker is in base contact with, nor is it an opportunity to change the attacker's formation or charge a unit not engaged in the fight. If the attacker cannot be moved in this manner, then the defending unit is moved instead.

In this case it is only 1 rank so the flank is the last rank. What I mean is can I choose right or left unit as taking off would make the flank charges stranded as their front chargers is in the way of them to be able to move forward. In this case, the initiative on the unit in the flank makes them attack last.  Behind the giant swig. Dark riders are charged both in front by a large unit and flank by wolf riders. |

As long as you have models not in CC, you remove those first. If all models are in CC, you remove models in a way that leaves the overall mutiple combat situation as much as possible intact - if need be you even nudge either the attacking or the defending unit into contact. If that is not possible, remember that "models can fight across the gap, even if not physically in base-to-base contact" - you "treat these models as being in base contact with the enemy" (BRB p.49).
