Dented oil pan

Is it possible to repair a dented oil pan without pulling the pan off the motor?

drill multiple holes get a dent puller and pull the dents and then braze the holes shut......just drop the pan.

i have seen dent pullers that weld to the surface, this way no need to fill the holes.

Brazing an installed oil pan is an exercise in futility.

Ask me how I know...
