Stuck by a pin? How to separate M46 bellhousing from engine block?

Please, if you could: I can't yet separate the junkyard manual transmission from the junkyard B230 I got. One locating pin/dowel is stuck.

I have tried a little prying, a little woodem shim (wedging action -- not a great idea), PB b'laster, little hammer taps.

It's 15 miles away, out at Grandma's spread, and I will bring some HEAT the next time I go.

If that fails I will drill out the dowel without shedding a tear... but with a curse.

They couldn't have slightly tapered the pin, eh? Or threaded it to remove from the backside? I hesitate to beat on the pin, fearing I will just mushroom it, and make things worse.

Thanks for your help!
