Just an update...almost there. One of my dowel pins was a real B!@#H to get out. I drilled and tapped it and used a slide hammer to try to pull it. Eventually pulled the threads. Tried heat. Then I found the magic tool. Bolt-outs from Craftsman. THese things ROCK. I put one on the dowel and gave it a couple spins with my impact wrench. The tapped it again and pulled it out with the slide hammer. The second one came right out with the slide hammer.

I bought the offset dowels. I was measuring .017 out of alignment so I was borderline between the medium and large offset dowels. I tried the medium. First attempt .015, second attempt after a twist od the screw driver was .011, last attempt was .006. I think I need to step up to the next size dowel...good thing I ordered both. Should be done tomorrow.
