How would you get this big aas dent out? I can get behind it through the trunk and was trying to use a basketball. I took all the air out, stuck it in the pocket behind the panel and aired it up. it's not working all that well. Some of the dent has come out but I think I've gotten it as far as it will go with that method.

I'm trying to get it out as gently as possible. No drilling or welding please......... I don't want to repair holes or tacs from slide hammers.

I'd be able to get a dolly but not the hammer. I can barely get the deflated ball back there.

thier is basicly no other "right way" to repair it besides using a spot welder and slide hammer. grind off spot welds, sling a few layers of bondo on it sand, prime, and paint. unless you just want to screw it up some more. i not trying to be a d!ck. but this is why (good) bodywork cost so much.

that only works on urethane parts.. correct me if I'm wrong but when i working a body shop the easiest way was a slide hammer and or a o/a welder...
