Dented in leg socket
«

Just acquired a kettle with a bent in leg socket. Anyone have tips for getting it flat again? I was thinking of getting it hot and trying to tap it back in place but concerned about damaging the porcelain. I would rather have the dent then porcelain damage.
Thanks
Tom

The rubber mallet works fantastic
@indy82z
. I just fixed a bent socket like that this week thanks to
@zavod44
advice. You will find it amazing how easily it fixes dents and bent leg sockets.
