Default 4.2 flywheel removal

I'm pulling the flywheel off my 4.2l to start the engine rebuild. The 10 standard bolts and locking plate came off without issue but what needs doing to remove the two locator pin style bolts? Allen key?
Stumped.

The way I was taught was to take a long 5/16 fine bolt with a washer on it. Then find a deep socket to go over the dowel. The next step is to screw the bolt in thru the socket, this will the draw out the dowels. You want to make sure the bolt only come about 1/2 beyond the socket so as not to bottom out on the crank.
