    Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure, a tool for removing a dowel pin from a component is shown. The tool includes an elongated nut, a bolt, a hollow pipe, at least one washer, and a fastening nut. The elongated nut has a first end and a second end. The first end has a threaded portion to receive the dowel pin. The bolt has a threaded first end and threaded second end. The bolt threaded first end is configured to be threaded into the second end of the elongated nut. A hollow pipe is positionable to cover the elongated nut and the bolt such that the first end of the hollow pipe is positioned around the dowel pin and a portion of the bolt extends outward beyond the second end of the hollow pipe. At least one washer is disposed through a bolt to make contact with the second end of the hollow pipe. A fastening nut is engaged to thread onto the second end of the bolt and is configured to apply pressure to the at least one washer, thereby extracting the dowel pin.
