I need to replace the yoke on my Taurus revolver, my gun is blued, the part that I have found is nickel. Can this nickel part be blued?

No,unless you have it deplated it won't blue,platers will do this sometimes for less then plating and that is the right way to do it,forget sanding it off or even sand blasting,there will be no steel removed by deplating just plating sanding will get lots of steel and change corner contours ,blasting will pit the steel a bit and re polishing will be more work than if you just deplate.
