jacowils Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Im having a hell of a time getting these old dowels out. Ive bent them to hell trying a bunch of crap but have gotten no where. Any suggestions and or tricks would be greatly appreciated so i can put my damn engine together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Can you smash it flat with vice grips and then drive it out with a punch from the other side? Never tried that. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Guns Racing Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Squish them to get a grip with vice grips, spray them with penetrating oil, then try to spin them and pull out and if they still don't come out, heat them a little. Don't try to save any, u won't be able to lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEREEL Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I had a tough time getting them out also. I soaked them with kroil then let them sit overnight. Next day they twisted out easily with a small pair of channel locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
