input gear trouble!

Im not really sure what they where coated with CHC, But when I worked in a factory we used to oil heat treat the steel that needed to be extra hard, so I think if you cooked off some of the oil that might of been on it, you should be ok......I just recently oil heated my center shafts, for extra strength this week...and there is a slight residue on them ....even after iwipped them clean...so if they did some form of oil heat treat on them...then the oil penetrated the metal and will still be in there....does this help at all.......but thanks for the FYI about you welding the pin into place...
