ChrisGT:
Great effort on that dent!
How did you do it? Heat and some kind of special tools to push It from the inside?

OMGosh it was a nightmare to do as it was hidden by an internal plate.
Tools I used were a pry bar. think towel and a Thompson local directory :signLOL:
Forced the plate out of the way to gain access which still gave me limited space and wedged the pry bar in wrapped with the towel and pushed on the dent best I could as there was nothing to rest the pry bar on to lever it. Used the thompson local directory by wedging it up the gap between the plate and dent and wedged the pry bar under the book and used that to force the dent out. made a slight error with the bar and towel which has left a small dent poking out but I'm quite happy with the result although I'm sure thay dent crease thing can be sorted out. I have a new job and a body repair specialist so once I get used to the guys I'll ask someone to have a look at it :wink:
ps I didn't use the heat gun as it wouldn't work with my power inverter other wise is would probably have come out way quicker. living in a nasty flat second floor doesn't give me the option of using an electrical extention or hose to even wash me car :(
ChrisGT:
Looks loads better though! :happy2:

It seems okay tbh with you but I'm hoping to replace all with uprated mounts asap as I don't like the way they fail and cause jerky gears.
