How do you get those little dowels out of the block? The ones that fit into the head and also bell housing.
I've quickly tried with vice grips but that soon chews them up.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Gene,
I've seen them out when they machine a deck, not sure what tool they have to yank'em out.
I'm actually using an old block as an anvil and they're in the way.
Cheers

Thanks Toranamat69,http://www.tridon.co...#38;amp;P=68993
Many brands to choose from.
I'll probably just cut them off seeing it doesn't matter about the damage.
Just found this method.

Finding heaps now I know it's called a dowel pin.
