Dowel Pin Replacement

REMOVAL
^ Dowels can be removed by using a drift pin where the dowel is installed in a drilled hole and vise grip pliers where the dowel is installed in a blind hole.
^ They should be pulled or driven from their seat, taking care not to damage dowel hole or surface area around dowel during removal.

INSTALLATION
^ All dowels can be installed by driving them into place using a brass or plastic mallet.
^ Care should be exercised to drive the dowel squarely into place until fully seated and not to damage surrounding surface areas.
