Icon2 Flywheel dowel pins removal!

I need to resurface my flywheel, BUT I am having problems removing the 3 dowel pins, that align the pressure plate. They are stuck

This guy seems to have luck
1 state:
2 state:
Right now I'm at 1st state for 3 days already - no luck for me

Any ideas how to get them out?

i've had luck by using a visegrip or heat up the pin with a torch and sometimes using a hammer and slightly tapping side to side.

I asked at differrent shops and it seems that nobody has a specific tool to take them out
I just grinded them a little and tried to put them out with a screwdriver but no luck.

I will try to heat them up.

What if I just cut them and run without? - I have 240whp.

Take your drill chuck off the drill... Clamps the dowel pins with the drill chuck, hook a slide hammer up to the drill chuck... get the idea ?

yep, the idea with that drill chuck is exactly what the tool i use at work does.

that, or if you can see the pin through the backside of the flywheel, get a punch, and tap them out...
