This is a complete guess from a guy who has never done bodywork but watched some on TV, so you're taking your chances here, but is there any way to spot weld a "matchstick"to the end of the easy-out like the guy in this video link? Then try spinning that with grips? Again, I'm a complete novice, if this sets your car on fire, I'm sorry but consider yourself warned. Can some of the more experienced guys tell me if this is a good or horrible idea? Thanks. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=bodywork%20dent%20removal%20spot%20weld&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CDoQtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcNVfrL3wOTQ&ei=OJlCUcW5Ns3E4AOhkYCoBg&usg=AFQjCNE7STXDhAW1hW2Ec89j8qZRz-7IEg&bvm=bv.43828540,d.dmg

Yea I saw that, I'm not that great of a welder, yea I would probably burn it to the ground Nuke

I'm thinkin of the ideal of just drilling the sm all holes around it. hopefully able to wedge it out and zert it..
