[QUOTE="johnnyclack, post: 248088, member: 7874"] Aluminum is pretty soft to pull ([i]w/slide hammer screws might pull out[/i]) against a dented radius rail, tends to be a point of strength. I concur with drilling a hole, however I would consider drilling the hole on the backside (in this pic it appears to be accessible). I would then insert a small to medium size drift punch, and “[u]gently” [/u]tap it out with a ball peen hammer. The JB weld process would be used to fill the hole as suggested. [/QUOTE]
