The current invention refers to a paintless dent removal tip having a rare earth magnetic sphere which is free to rotate within a mounting cup and attach itself to the inside of a motor vehicle panel at a point on the magnet dictated by its polarity, so that maximum magnetic flux attracts a ferromagnetic ball trace on the panel's outer surface, indicating the exact position of the part of the magnet touching the panel, regardless of the angle at which the tip is held, and so showing the user where to apply pressure to remove a dent.

An apparatus and a method for correcting a vehicle member, by which twisting or deflection of a vehicle member including a side member of the vehicle, may be corrected, may be disclosed, wherein the apparatus for correcting a vehicle member includes a base extending in a lengthwise direction thereof, and a plurality of correction units disposed on the base to be movable.

An upper, aluminum insert is positioned between an upper, non-aluminum jaw of a clamp and an aluminum part of a vehicle, and a lower, aluminum insert is positioned between a lower, non-aluminum jaw of the clamp and the aluminum part of the vehicle to shield the aluminum part of the vehicle from the jaws to prevent galvanic corrosion.

An auto body repair assembly for removing dents includes a rotary tool that has a shaft. An extender is operationally couplable to the shaft. A first cylinder, which is weighted, is positioned to insert the extender to slidably couple the first cylinder to the extender. A bit is operationally couplable to the extender distal from the rotary tool. The bit has a first section that is configured to penetrate sheet metal and a second section that is threaded and configured to couple to the sheet metal. The rotary tool is positioned to rotate the bit to penetrate the sheet metal and to couple the bit to the sheet metal. The first cylinder is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user to propel the first cylinder along the extender to the rotary tool to apply force to a dent in the sheet metal.

A method for of aligning a vehicle includes the steps of: supporting a first portion (19A, 19B) of the vehicle, deforming the vehicle by applying a force to a second portion (5) of the vehicle, positioning at least one motion sensing measuring unit (9A, 9B) including at least one accelerometer on the supported first portion (19A, 19B) of the vehicle before the deforming step, and tracking any movements of the supported first portion (19A, 19B) of the vehicle during the deformation by means of the motion sensing measuring unit (9A, 9B). An arrangement for aligning a vehicle is also provided.
