I was able to reach it and push it out when the metal was heated with a heat gun, but it would dent back in as soon as I released any pressure. Even when I was pushing it, it wasn't 100% straight. Here is what mine looked like, and how I fixed it:









if you dont mind me adding my 2cents in, your repair in its current state is going to look like crap once you prime and paint over it. one you have body filler over some of the paint which is very bad, two your car has many layers of paint and should be stripped , three it looks like you have a few layers of bodyfiller and some high spots in the metal around the wheel well. prime and paint it and you will see what im telling you, it will look like pancakes under your paint where you sanded the layers out. each layer needs to be sanded min 1/4 out. anyway im a bodyman/painter so im just trying to help you out
