Abstract
A guide for cutting a dowel pin of a rotor assembly is provided. The guide includes a catch basin, including a first catch basin portion and a second catch basin portion, and a shim. The first catch basin portion and the second catch basin portion form a cutting tool receiver. The shim extends from a first edge having a cross-section that is complementary to a surface of the rotor assembly. The first catch basin portion and the second catch basin portion form a receptacle that accommodates and retains portions of a dowel pin during and after removal of the dowel pin from the rotor assembly. The cutting tool receiver is defined by a receiver edge configured to guide a cutting surface of a cutting tool through a cross-section of a dowel pin.
