How do you go about removing dents from an oil pan, without warping the whole thing? At some point in my H's life, it has been kicked in the "stomach" so that the drain plug is higher than the floor of the pan. One fellow told me to pound on it with a hardwood block, but I am a little leery of doing this. Thanks and Merry Xmas to all!

My first choice would be to push it out with a hydraulic press. Lacking one, set the pan on blocks under the tractor frame, use a hydraulic jack and blocking to push it straight. Pushing slowly is better than whacking with a bfh. Hammering is ok for small dents, but use body tools or drifts, etc. in between the hammer and the work because it is difficult to hit squarely on the work with just a hammer.

A better place to ask would be the Paint and body work site.I have heated the area in a circular motion with a torch and then applied a wet rag to the heated area.That causes the area to shrink.Dents almost always stretch the metal somewhat.Heat it the most where the dent is concentrated.

I've knocked them out the same way as I would any body part on a tractor. Just take it slow and work it out, but I do own the body hammers etc for do things.
