I had three rather good size dents in the rear steel of my Argosy. I was able to pull most of them out using a slide hammer. Had to drill several holes but the dents actually game out pretty easily. I will fill the remaining small dents with bondo. Charles

Charles Funny you came along with this comment, timing, just talked to my brother yesterday. That is the route we are going to take, He has a sled hammer. Recommended method is to use an ice pic or awl to pop a hole in, this leaves a bur on the inside for better grip.

Seems like the only bad thing about using something to punch a hole is that you will put the dent push the dent back in you are trying to pull out. It takes a series of holes in a given dent to get the complete dent out....if you punch...i.e. .... put pressure on the dent...you'll more than likely push the dent back in. That's been my experience anyway....just a thought Charles This is one of my dents before I pulled it
