Though that is the "right" way to do it, I just lay the runner on a piece of wood and roll a large socket on the end of an extension over the inside of the runner as I smack the extension firmly with a medium hammer.

This method takes a little effort and patience but it works. I've gotten the factory dents removed to the point that traces are not noticible unles you were looking for them.
