Default How to get crankshaft dowell pin on a 59ab back in place

I have just removed the flywheel on my 59 a B. One of the crankshaft Dowell pins came out with the flywheel. How do I get it back in? Is there a trick to it?

First question, why was the flywheel removed? Re surface, new clutch & pressure plate, etc. If none of these, just put it back on and tighten down the bolts using the cross method like doing lug nuts. The pin should seat itself. If not you can tap it back in with a drift pin.
