Troy, if you are going to anodize, make sure they mask off the bearing assembly surfaces as it adds some small thickness to the material and may (or may not) throw you off your press-fit tolerance. (don't anodize with the bearing already pressed in for obvious reasons)

You have the point. I though the O2 will weaken the Aluminum.
Just wonder how does aero industrial harden the Aluminum ?
