Josh,
No, they are not hardened. (Assuming that you are refering to the little
tapered pin with the nut at the end. I have never had much success at
removing these by the approved methods. I usually end up using the cutoff
wheel in the dremel to recess the end of the pin that used to have threads
into a concave surface that helps center the very small drill bit that I
then employ to drill a hole through the pin. I follow this by several larger
sizes of drill bit until I am very close to the side of the pin. At this
point it drifts out very nicely. Never had any trouble with the replacement.
HTH YMMV
