Default cam dowel pin broke!!

hey guys, i have a 95 z28, and im currently getting ready to rebuild the engine, well anyways when i took the opti off, i saw a small piece of metal fall. i picked it up and examined it, it turned out to be about half of the cam dowel pin.....

so my questions are how do i take the old pin out?? and where do i get a replacement one??

A good engine machine shop can pull the pin out and replace it.
