Hello, I'm doing a timesert on my 1996 n*. This is my first time doing one and everything is going good but I have ran into a problem with the top corner holes with the aligning pins, how do I get them out so I can timesert the holes?

I used a large fender washer with inside diameter just slightly larger than the dowel pin laid down on the dowel to prevent the vice grips from damaging the aluminum block when removing these dowels. Some heat from a torch will help loosen the old dowel also.

I couldn't find any comparable dowel pin when reassembling after timeserting. Tried all the auto parts stores for miles around. Had to go to the dealer. Wasn't too expensive...just an aggravation.
