2G Crank dowel pin

Doing manual to auto swap, anyone have suggestions on pulling this out?

You can try:
- Vise grips
- Welding a nut to it (although your rear main seal is close )
- Notch flats on each side with dremel and use wrench or vise grips again
- Simply grind it down flat.

Most of these will be difficult because the crank is still installed. Personally I would just grind it flat if vise grips don’t work.

Only thing that worked! Cut off wheel.

I think the proper tool is a pin vise on a slide hammer. You probably don’t have one of those, but perhaps your local parts store has one to lend out. Otherwise, try a little piece of dry ice held against it and then vice grips. You can’t use a torch because of the seal. You could also drill it.
Grinding it off flush seems inelegant, though probably fine.

Don't forget to put a pilot bearing in.

You could also try a more longer process and drill tap and thread in a bolt long enough to grab with grips or something similar. Then proceed to pry it out with a flathead or small pry bar.

Just thinking outside the box with something I’d do with limited tools and the urge to get it done now

I bought special Colbolt bits to drill case harden steel! Didn’t even scratch it. Lol

I think I would have just drilled a matching hole into the flex plate before grinding into my crank like that.

I tried that first. Didn’t like the way it came out. I just cut it slow and a little at a time.
