The ATCCATS0260 Metric Dowel Pin Puller Kit safely extracts 6–16 mm dowel pins from engine blocks, cylinder heads, crankshafts, and flywheels. Slide-hammer design with 6 collets prevents damage during heavy-duty service and rebuilds.

The Critical Risks of Damaged or Stuck Dowel Pins in Engine Rebuilds

Stuck or corroded dowel pins in engine blocks, heads, and flywheels create major challenges during disassembly—improper removal damages precision surfaces and delays rebuilds.

• Surface scoring – Pry/hammer methods mar bores, requiring $500–$1,500 machining
• Pin breakage – Snapped pins demand drilling/EDM, costing $800–$2,000
• Component damage – Force cracks blocks/heads, leading to $2,000–$5,000 replacements
• Downtime losses – Manual struggles extend service 2–4 hours, adding $300–$600 labor
• Alignment issues – Damaged holes cause misalignment, totaling $1,000–$3,000
• Rebuild failure – Severe damage demands full replacement ($5,000–$12,000)
