Removing dent in ally rim?

[TreaderSteve]

Having deep-cleaned an M231 front wheel there is a slight inward dent as viewed from the side, and a slight impact 'downwards' dent toward the hub which I'm probably less bothered by. Someone hit a rock, created a wee bit of a flat spot and turned the outer edge of the rim inwards. With my rubbish camera I could probably not get a good picture but it's not too bad - far from terminal - just annoying.
Anyone got any tips to ease such an impact out gently outwards? I could leave it - it might not irk under braking tooooo much. I have mole grips and I have a bench vice! Yet I don't want to go at it quite yet without experienced feedback.
Thanks

Use a piece of wood to spread the impact, then lever or hammer it out.

There used to be a special (park?) tool to ease out a flat spot, but as it didn't actually work, they stopped selling it.

The trouble is that the dented area is usually now harder than the surrounding material so it's easy to end up with a ripple.

But you can then file the braking surface flat to avoid brake grab.

Always used mole grips, gently though as it bends quite easily

Good advice above from @bikeworkshop -

AL will not "re-form" like steel.

I've been brutal in the past with AL rims, but sorry to say, while they can be rescued for a beater bike they are done with as a whole. It's incredibly hard to re-create that factory machined brake track at home.
