Mopar 318 Blind hole dowel pin trick - Easiest way to remove stubborn dowel pins! 

The ratcheting die stock is killer

Great method. Worked well for me to remove bell housing dowels. I had to use a modify method because the 1/2" dowel started spinning in the hole before the die reached the block. So I placed a screw driver under the die and gently pried up while spinning the die with my impact gun. Came out like butter!!

Great trick but why wouldn't you soak the dowel pin in penetrating oil prior to trying to remove it?

Nice trick. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.

Worked! Thanks!!

Goodson makes an awesome dowel puller with different sized collects that'll remove that in seconds. I've been using mine in our machine shop for over 20years

Nifty!

Naw. Ended up stripping one out.
