016 gearbox dowel pin removal...

[Gerard]

Hi!

What's the trick to remove the dowel pins holding the gear carrier
housing to the final drive housing on the 016 transmission?

I've removed all relevant bolts and I'm ready to punch out the dowel
pins holding the 2 housings together, but they're in there pretty solid.

Should they be punched towards the final drive housing or the gear
carrier housing?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks.
