The boly I used was from the carb, I just held it to one side of the dowel and it pulled out easy, but the bottom one is a nuisance! This is the front rotor and housing that I need, and the FSM says to use the "puller". Thats great

Pulling dowel pins. Use a lug bolt or rear control arm bolt. Find a box wrench that fits over the threads, but is smaller than the bolt head, run the bolt through the wrench into the dowel, tap it up and out with a hammer.
