I was thinking of drilling the center now in case I mess up the dowel in some way and can't find center later.The thing about this is you spread the metal putting in the bolt against the block.Thank you for the info. I had to pull the factory ones out of the hemi block that I had built when I got ready to index the bellhousing, so I could replace them with the offset dowels. I tried vise grips without any luck. I finally drilled them and tapped the center with like a 1/4 20 thread and screwed a bolt in each and pulled them out with a slide hammer. Matt

Drill a 3/8 hole in the dowel, fill the hole nearly full with grease, then take a grade 5 bolt with the threads cut off, start the 3/8 bolt in the hole then hit the bolt with a 3 or 4lb hammer, the grease will push the dowel out, same thing works for removing a pilot bushing except there is no hole to drill. I've done this before and does work. Alternatively you could drill the front of the block where the dowel pin is and use a drift punch to tap it out. Might be worthwhile to do that anyway as the alignment dowels are rarely clocked at the right spot the first time anyway.

This is an interesting idea ty!I need some better drill bits.The cobalt coated did noth Drill a 3/8 hole in the dowel, fill the hole nearly full with grease, then take a grade 5 bolt with the threads cut off, start the 3/8 bolt in the hole then hit the bolt with a 3 or 4lb hammer, the grease will push the dowel out, same thing works for removing a pilot bushing except there is no hole to drill.

This will only work on the ps of the engine.The ds has the cylinder bore behind it. Before I install an offset dowel I always drill and tap the dowel through the center of the of the dowel's block side. I can then use a push bolt to get the dowel out easily to re-position it.

Just had to do this. Couldn't drill the dowel, to hard. Vice grips and puller slipped off. Welded a 3/8" allen head bolt (the head side of the allen) to the dowel. Slid a deep well socket and washer over the threaded side, then thread a nut against the washer/socket. Tighten the nut . It'll come right out. Doug

I may be able to come up with a puller.Could that also stick the dowel to the block? Just had to do this. Couldn't drill the dowel, to hard. Vice grips and puller slipped off. Welded a 3/8" allen head bolt (the head side of the allen) to the dowel. Slid a deep well socket and washer over the threaded side, then thread a nut against the washer/socket. Tighten the nut .

I've had to drill and thread more than one dowel, others came out with vise grips but they really needed to be tight on the dowel. Once they slip I had to drill and thread them
