Hammer & dolly might eventually do it as it thins the metal and probably will oil can it in another spot.
Planishing welds with a hammer and dolly is common and correct practice. Welding shrinks metal, to correct it you stretch it with a hammer and dolly. OP tried it and he said it worked....

Maybe you could find some VHS tapes on basic sheet metal welding etc on eBay since you have an aversion to YouTube. The bangshift link posted below is also an excellent tutorial.
