Smile Re: How to pull dents with no access from behind?

Drill 'anchor holes' into dent area and get lots done by screwing in metal screw and pulling with a claw hammer! Better is use a 1.5-inch by 1/4-inch by ~10-inch flat plate(or 5" or 14"--depending on length & flatness of panel the dent is in). Drill a hole thru f-plate, insert hole over screw head, and use claw hammer to pull against PLATE, working dent UP TO back of plate.

Used these 2 methods even after getting business big enough to justify store-bought tools!
