I am in the process of breaking down the 13B motor I have from my '88 and i was curious if the slide hammer and puller set that harbor freight sells would be enough to remove the dowels holding the pieces of the motor intact? I mean, the description for the tool says it can handle bushings, seals, sleeves, bearings, bronze or oilite bushings, dents and pressed-in bolts..this would probably work right?

 

You can usually pull them out by hand, if not yes it should work. Also, a bolt can be threaded into them and pulled/tapped out accordingly if they're being naughty.

 

Perfect. Thank you much!!

 

so since you're taking apart a motor and rebuilding is it difficult? or do just need a guide sort of to tell the steps of doing it

 

there are online videos that you can visit. its pretty straight forward, but takes tons of care.

 

This one from HF works very nicely for pulling the pilot bearing.
