Removing dent >=(

[Joe1911]

I came out of my college class today to discover some ******* had hit my truck when trying to pull in to a parking space

Luckily the paint wasn't broken.


There is now a golfball size dent in the lower rear corner of the truck. Is this something I can pull out myself, or should I go to an auto body shop? Picture below.

There seems to be a small access hole behind it. It's a very tough reach, as there isn't much room to maneuver underneath of the (crew) cab.

yup not much room back their... can it be reached from inside the rear seat?

oh and ive also seen those dent removal things at auto parts store... i guess you put a suction cup with some epoxy and pull it out

pay someone to do it right man! (i'm a claims adjuster) those suction things will work if you do it correctly - but that is a LARGE dent to try to pull -- it will likely need to be pushed from behind and they will drill a small hole if you let them and get the tool behind the dent and massage it out as far as they can - you would be surprised! I would try that first -- let a good PDR person local to you go at it.
