Did they heat the yoke or just the nut? It’s pretty common to heat the nut, but I’ve never had to heat a yoke. If they got the yoke very hot, your transmission seal is probably junk.

Sounds like they were removing the driveshaft to replace the clutch, and one of the bolts were stripped that held the u-joint. After finding the stripped u-joint bolt, they decided to pull the yoke. They attempted to pull the yoke but were unsuccessful, and didn’t tighten it back down. The tone ring is just held in place by pressure between the yoke and rear bearing, if the yoke is loose, the tone ring can slip and not provide a speed reading.

This is what happened.
