I crashed the rear door amd got a big dent in it. I want to just bang it out so I took off the rear panel to get a clear view of it but theres only a small opening to the door. Is there anything else I can do or take off to get a clear shot? Thanks for your time.

I'm not a body person, but you can get a body tool that may help you pull the dent out from the outside. It's a slide hammer with a small screw on it. You drill a small hole in outside of door, screw the tool in, use slide hammer to pull out the dent as much as possible. You may have to drill more than one hole. At the end you may need to use some body filler to smooth it out? Sand it, primer and paint it.

Another option may be to get a decent door from the salvage yard that will fit your vehicle.
