Getting cylinder dowels out..

[jacowils]

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!

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.

Forgive me i forgot to mention the whole bottom end is still together im just rebuilding the top end

what was wrong with leaving them in?

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

Dont be a redneck, get a dowel pin puller.

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.
