if you can get to the dent on the other side you can use this thing that they sell at most auto store and its like a mettle brick with diferent contours on it and you hold it up to the dent on the outside and use a dent hammer on the other side of the dent and flatten it out thats a really crappy explanation my bad just go to the auto parts store and go to the body section and look at all the tools and see what you need but becareful not to make it worse i did my first shot at body repair good luck

it takes a while, but if you get some dry ice you can pop out smaller dents. just press it lightly against the dent. its kindsa unreliable though. sometimes it works, sometimes not. but its like 98cents a pound and thats all you really need. id try it. make sure its wrapped in plastic and your wearing gloves.
