I'm taking apart the bed on my 46 to rebuild it and the front panel has a bulge in it from cargo hitting it when loaded or shifted. What's a good way of getting the bulge out, I was thinking of just laying it down on the garage floor and standing on it to get it to go into place. I don't think dolly and hammering it would help as it would make the surface lumpy and a lot more work.Any suggestions?

Since cargo has been hitting it, it has stretch. It has to be shrunk to get it back to flat. This is pretty difficult to do for flat panels. You can use a torch or shrinking disc in a grinder.
