I did #@##1'1 it is not too big but...

Any idea how to get behind it to push it out? It seems like it is inaccessible.

cheers

A dog bit the left rear passenger arch of mine over the weekend. Was doing a U turn in a farmyard and it sounded like the mud flap had grounded out. Just kept driving.

Why couldn't the have gone for the dangling, chewy & replacable flap instead??

Powerful bite too: 2 fang spaced dings and deep scratches as mouth was forcefully parted from arch by the mighty torque of the M40.

Anyway - the Touring arch is sealed up by suspension turret bits and a flat plate with a few small holes on the inside and by the wheel liner from underneath. No chance of pushing from the inside.

Doubt a 2 door is different...

I have just been looking at the etk. looks like it will just have to be repainted and left or perhaps sucked out.

A ding to the arch is most likely a crease which won't pull. Filler is probably the only way to get it 100% again.

Don't know what your dent is like, but generaly, a dent that you can't get behind is removed by welding a washer edgeways onto the panel in the middle of the dent, and pulling on the washer.
When you're happy with the shape, the washer is ground off.

A bodyshop would use a electric pin puller which fuses pins on to the metal and grip with a sliding hammer pulling the dent out.

As said weld on a few washers and pull the dent out.

The pins are a variation on the washers. A bodyshop would fuse the washers on in the same way as the pins, by passing a controlled high current through them.
