Engine Stand Question

[Onefast99gsx]

Hi guys- I'm removing the motor out of the GSX this weekend. I want to put it up onto the engine stand once it's out. The front/lower bell housing bolt hole on the block has a guide pin in it. Do you normally have to remove this or how do you get around it? I tried lightly with a pliers and it started to knurl it so i backed off.

Thanks for any help...
