Default Bending 3mm metal puzzle

"john thompson" wrote something like this in message
...
An aluminium saucepan was dropped on the kitchen floor and now the lid
will not fit on, due to a fairly small flattening of one side.

The saucepan is 16cm in diameter and the aluminium is 3 mm thick. My
thumbs are just not strong enought to push the side out enough for the lid
to fit on.

Cannot think of a way to get a good leverage on it to re-shape it, without
damaging the non stick coating on the inside of the saucepan. Grateful
for any suggestion. Thanks.

Saucepans are cheap....buy another.
