The ATC CATS0260 Metric Dowel Pin Puller Kit is a professional-grade extraction tool set engineered for heavy-duty engine and machinery applications. Designed by Apex Tool Co., this kit features a slide-hammer style puller with collets and components sized for metric dowel pins in 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, and 16 mm diameters.
The kit is ideal for removing dowel pins from engine blocks, cylinder heads, crankshafts, flywheels, and other precision machined assemblies. The operation is simple yet effective: select the correct collet for the dowel pin size, mount it on the puller shaft, apply downward motion to lock the collet, then slide hammer upward to extract the pin. To release the pin, simply unscrew the collet head or tap on the hollow surface.
Whether you’re dealing with seized or lightly corroded dowel pins, this tool helps you extract them without damage to the surrounding component — saving time, reducing re-work, and preserving the integrity of the engine or assembly. The kit is especially valuable for engine rebuilders, heavy-duty repair shops and remanufacturers who regularly work with metric dowel pins.
