So I'm doing a complete bearing change out on my 06 M7. After pulling the bearing off the double bottom gear I noticed the pressed on gear had broke the tack weld and twisted a bit. Do you guys think I could just tig it and run it?

You could, but I would not risk it.

Thanks guys. Who knows how long it has already run like that. BDX wants to sell as a set. I think I'll weld it, put it on and see if I here anything unusual. I'll let you know how it goes.

Ok I didn't use the welded gear. I took your advise and bought a used set instead.
