Default Front Right Quarter Panel Removal

I have a small indentation on the lower part of my right-side quarter panel. It is next to the jacking point and was caused by a jack issue. If I could access that area I might be able to push it back with the palm of my hand. I am wondering if I should try and remove the panel myself. The dent is on the bottom of the panel next to the frame. I can't see any way to get to the dent from the inside without taking off the panel.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Vipersdad

Update: I spoke with a body-shop professional and he suggested I just take off some of the bottom panel screws along with the lower one inside the door jam and carefully pull the panel back so I can reach in and push down on the dent to straighten it out. If necessary I might need to lightly apply a rubber mallet to straighten it. Haven't tried it yet. Too nice to drive after work right now rather than fool around with body maintenance.
