I don't have a slide hammer... nor a tap and die set... Looks like I will be using wrenches again

 

Oh the smell of PB Blaster... reminds me of when I first started tearing the car apart.

you could use a bolt that is the same diameter and put it in the dowel, then use pliers to pull it out. That should keep the integrity of the dowel. I hope.

or try the grease trick

 

If it doesn't, I have thr front cover dowels. Then another engine. Then another.

 

Thing things are impossible!

 

Thing things?
Yeah, they really suck to get out if you don't have the right tools. I wish I wasn't stupid and lost them.

Do you guys think I could get away with just using some hollow stock that is the same diameter and cutting it to the right height?

 

I don't see why not. I will try again when I get back home from work. The bolt I have is perfect for it, but I cannot seem to get more than 1/4 of a thread to screw in before it strips itself out.

 

Did you ever figure out how to get those things out, Jeezus?

 

Hey what area ya'll talking bout exactly?

edit: lol my bad I screwed up thinking this was only one page.
