im trying to take the dents out of my bedsides, but i cant find a way to reach them from under the bed. if i unbolt the bedside, is it going to separate the inner from the outer bedside? do u guys have any helpful tips for about pulling dents out of the bedsides? theres a 1/2" layer of bondo underneath the paint covering up some dents and i would like to take it all off and do it right, and pull the dents out. il post pics maybe tomorrow.

Do you have access to a pin puller? Most body men have a small spot welder that welds pins on to your dented area and then you can use a slide hammer to slowly work the dents out.

Yeah, I also would use a stud gun and slide hammer. Makes it much easier to pull em out
