Can you tap the gearbox one (I assume its the engine one you want to keep?) out the other way, or get some vice grips onto it and try to twist it to loosen then twist pull it the rest of the way out?

Subject: dowel thingosHi all,
i'm in the middle of putting a 240K 5 speed (thanks peter) into my 1600
and i've struck a problem :(
The hole for the dowel between the top two bolts of the engine and
gearbox both have dowels in them!! The engine one is sticking out about
15mm, and would be easy to take out, except the engine is still in the
car so i dont have enough room to yank it out. The gearbox dowel is only
sticking out about 2 or 3 mm so this is bloody hard to grip too.....
any ideas?? I need one of the dowels out but neither of them are easy,
does anyone have a trick to getting these out, or any suggestions at
all???
Thanks heaps,
Mark._____________________________________________________________
