How do you remove them?

They are just a light press fit. Mine came out on their own...which subsequently led to an alignment issue and pilot bearing destruction. So make sure they go back in!

But if you grab em with pliers, or locking pliers, they should twist out. You might have to clean up the burrs you make with some emry paper or something after you put them back in.

Why would you want to remove them? Is one damaged?

I bought a used shortblock from a friend after trashing mine and they were removed along with the head dowels. My old head dowels came out easily but these for the bellhousing are IN THERE

Ah... sorry. I thought you meant the dowels between the trans and bellhousing...

Not sure how the bigger ones in the block come out. I imagine they are pressed in the same, but I dont know if they'll just come out like the others.

Put some heat on them with a butane torch, lock on some vice grips to it and pop it with a hammer. That usually works pretty good.
