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!!
Maybe heating the block around the pin with a torch a little would help some if u were care not to apply too much heat in one area of the surface. Maybe til a drop oil started to smoke? Worth a try for a badly siezed one
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

That would do it!
The ratcheting die stock is killer
It does works well!
Nice trick.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
Thanks Ed! Hope you had a great Christmas!

Thanks for the info!
Costs more than the motor
Yeah but it costs 218$ id rather use the die kit i already have till i have the expendable income to use on toys
Great trick but why wouldn't you soak the dowel pin in penetrating oil prior to trying to remove it?
If it's seized likely there is no gap for penetrating oil to get into.
You could do that, it wouldn't hurt at all! These weren't in there too bad, but if they were more stuck, I probably would have needed the help.
Very true!
Nifty!
Thanks!
Naw. Ended up stripping one out.
It can happen!
