[TR] Locating dowel pins

[A Daniel Cronin]

Am in the process of complete motor, trans rebuild, etc and am desirous of
making sure all the "mating" surfaces (front motor plate, cylinder head @
intake/exhaust, bell housing, crank flywheel flange, etc) are true and would
like to remove the various locating dowel pins so the job is properly
accomplished.  Anyone have any suggestions as to how to remove the old pins? 
Am assuming one can purchase drill rod in the right diameter and cut to proper
length for replacements?
Thanks for any input you can provide.
