dents in TPI runners.
I was wondering if anyone knew any good techniques to get dents out of my TPI runners. . The dents aren't too bad, just a bunch of little small ones, i believe where a wrench had hit them or when someone was working on it and hit it with a hammer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have used the right size box ended wrench, I can't remember the size, maybe 1 1/4"(yah, a big wrench), to gently roll the dents out. It just fits, plus the edge of the wrench has a nice radius, so it doesn't cause more problems. There are also steel ***** that people sell on ebay from time to time that you are supposed to push through and straighten the runners. never seen them, other than pictures. I suppose Mcmaster-carr sells ball bearings that big that might work too.
