Grip them from the side with a pair of Vise Grips and rotate it an pull out at the same time.

Brent Mills Brent 3 ways Drill the holes out to the next size for all the bolt holes, then center your bell housing and weld 2 nuts to the housing where the pins go, make sure to test twice and weld once. If you want out the pins, drill and tap them with 1/4". Put the bolt on a slide hammer and pop them out. Unless the motor is out of the car, drilling the bellhousing is the best. The rub goldberg way is to weld a piece of flat stock to the pins and twist them out. With ANY WELDING UNHOOK THE POWER TO THE CAR TO PERVENT DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. :eek: Good luck Brent :D Rick Lake
