If you’re absolutely committed to keeping the original block, here’s my two cents worth:

Remove the old pins with a brace or ratchet, not an electric drill.  It’s more work, but it keeps the heat down and won’t glaze the hole.
Ken,

I'll have to take issue with this.  Another technician here showed me exactly the opposite just recently.  Removing the pins with a brace (or even a T-stringing hammer) got the pins so hot you couldn't hold them.  The electric drill didn't give them time to get hot.  They were warm, but you could hold them.
