Someone told me the three bolts for the motor mount on the oil pan will thread in and you can pull them out that way. I personally just used a bolt I had laying around that threaded in.

I was able to get all but 1 of the dowel pins out without any puller or using the bolt, you gotta just get creative.

One of the suspension bolts is just the right size to thread in, don't remember which one it is, I have a many cans of spare nuts and bolts. Just find one that fits, preferably with a flared head. If I can't pull it out with the bolt, I take a box wrench and slip the bolt through it before I screw it in. Then tap on the wrench and draw the dowel pin out. Never had to use a puller, even on the stubborn ones.

Yep, the 17mm flange head bolts that secure the passenger aluminum engine mount to under the oil pan threads right in.
