You can pull the dowl pin with a tension bolt. Put the bolt down into the dowl hole, **** it to one side so that it grips the threads, and pull out. Takes some practice, but once you get the technique down it's easy...
As for the studs, if you don't plan on re-using, just clamp on a pair of Vice Grips and twist them out. I almost always replace all the hardware whenever I do a major job, because bolts and nuts that have spent 10+ years out in the elements are nasty.
