^improper fender installation… thats how…

and that is a more difficult area to repair because the metal is folded over itself for strength… its not like a flat panel with nothing behind it; like the centre of a door

improper installation or further problems such as bent rad support/fender rails.

and yes, its very difficult, If you call a paintless dent removal place they should be able to get most of it out.

Holy fack, people told you already, what more do you want to know. you need proper body working tools to get it out correctly, body hammers, curved blocks etc… Or you try with a mallot and sand bag and hope it dosnt come out like shit.

Or get a professional to do it.

while it is fully bolted to the car, with the fender liner removed, reach inside and try to push it out by hand as best as possible, then add hammers and dolleys + select curse words.
