using a dent puller
I'm not entirely sure here, but hope this helps
I've been googling things like "débosselage" and "automotive body work" and it does seem like a dent puller would be used to repair hail damage. There are different kinds of dent pullers, I'm not entirely sure how the "piston" comes into play.

maybe "to use a dent puller" would sound better
