Default Runner Dent Remover

While polishing my intake runners the polishing wheel slipped out of the chuck of my die grinder and put a dent in the runner. Does someone know where i can get the ball type dent remover?
Thanks

I used one of those ball bearing kits from ebay on a dented up set of runners I bought. They worked very well. The kit came with 6 ***** and you just put the first one in and hammered it a little (I used a rubber mallot) until it was in the whole way, and then put the next one in. with 6, you can fix any dents the whole way through the runners.

Now those dented up ones look like this.



Sorry, I don't have any pics of them alone or prior to powdercoating them.
