However, if you’re moving or simply need to take your IKEA furniture apart for some reason, removing the wooden dowels is possible with a little effort. Here’s what you’ll need to do:

Ikea BROKEN WOOD DOWEL | Put It Together How to remove | Ikea BROKEN WOOD DOWEL | Put It Together

Start by using a sharp knife or saw to cut through the top of the dowel flush with the surface of the wood.You will need to use a sharp chisel and be very careful not to damage the surrounding wood. First, make a small pilot hole in the center of the dowel with the tip of the chisel. Next, insert the chisel into the pilot hole and start prying up on the dowel. If you really want to get them out, you can use a drill. But be careful because a lot of times the dowels are in holes that only go partway through a piece of wood and have a finished surface on the other side. Better to leave them in there (but chopped off so they don't get in the way) than to take them out and mess up everything else in the process.

Once you’ve cut through the dowel, gently pry it out of the hole with a screwdriver or similar tool. If necessary, sand down any rough edges on the wood before reassembling your Ikea furniture.

First, drill a small pilot hole into the center of the dowel pin using a bit that is smaller than your final drill bit size. Then, switch to a larger drill bit and carefully drill through the center of the pilot hole until you reach the other side of the dowel pin. Be careful not to damage the surrounding wood as you drill. How Do You Remove Glued Wooden Dowels?
