Don't try to remove the entire dent in one "pull." Work your way back and forth on all of the pins and slowly bring it out. | 
It took a few pins to get the majority of the dent out, but you can see there is still a dent where the blue paint is at the front of the fender, and two of the pins pulled off the fender. That is a result of the welder being applied too long, and the metal getting brittle. We'll weld the holes shut before we begin "smoothing." | 
To remove the pins, just grind them off. |
We removed the pins before we were done because we needed pins in locations very close to the old ones, and we couldn't work with them so close together. We had already removed the majority of the dent, and now it was time for some fine tuning. | 
Since we will only be finishing the details of the dent repair, we can't use the slide hammer, as it's way too forceful. This little hand puller-supplied in the dent puller kit-gives you enough leverage to gently pull on a low spot, and then work the high spots with a hammer. | 
Like we said, the little puller makes it easy to pull on the low spots and use a body hammer to lower (tap) the high spots, thus smoothing the metal. |
The body hammer kit was $25. | 
Fillers have been around for years, and if used properly, are a great tool. We like to use the Eastwood Metal 2 metal filler. This filler applies like typical plastic fillers, yet is made with fine aluminum particles, which helps make for a stronger repair. | 
It's also waterproof, so there is little chance of corrosion under the patch areas. A quart of this stuff is $26. |
Our thin layer of Metal 2 Metal filler hardened like a rock, so after it dried overnight, we did an initial sand with the DA and 80- grit paper. Remember to only take off as much filler as required to smooth the body contour. | 
After sanding down our primary filler, we found there were a few spots of metal that were visible surrounded by filler. | 
These are high spots and need to be lightly tapped down. If not, you will never get your fender completely straightened. You'll always see the "dimples." |
