body work/rear corner

Ok I have a dent on the rear drivers side corner right next to the tail light and I just wanted to know how to get behind it to pound it out. It is a small dent but it gets to me I want to paint it but I want to do the dent work so it will be cheeper to get painted.

You might need to use a puller from the outside if it works,as there is very little room to work with there if it's right beside the tail light.

Oh is that the one where it put small holes in the body. That is going to suck. You don't think that a hammer and dolly would work?

a uni-spotter dosent put holes in it, it tacks a pin to the body, which you pull on.

Re: body work/rear corner

I personally like the unispotter. I hate drilling hole in metal where they are not needed. And most of the time they are not filled back in correctly. I would use a unispotter and hammer and dolly.
