pulling dents

Hi Mark!

There is a studd gun you can buy that spot welds small posts on to the dent area, and then a puller/slide hammer that grabs the posts and you slide hammer them out. And espensive tool if not used alot.

Cheaper solution, buy a body work slide hammer, they have sheet metal screw ends, you drill small holes, screw in the end of the hammer, and slide hammer out the dent. Then the holes are welded up.

Some dent actualy stretch the metal when they occur. Therefore the dented area's metal needs to be shrunk. Usualy done by heating, and quenching with water which shrinks the metal.

The bad news about all this, is you need to be able get to the back side of the work area, to re paint and seal after all this work or you have opened it up to major rusting.

Google "Eastwood.com" They sell all the tools and supplies needed for Auto body work including dent pullers and stud weld dent pulling systems,or any thing else for body work. Local Auto supply houses that deal with body work could help also.
 
Maybe I missed something, but why would small dents matter if they are covered by the liner?

I have several dents in the front of my pickup box that were caused while the bed liner was installed. After 8 years I haven't found any side effects to leaving them in place.
