that fender is urethane - hammering wouldn't work even if you could get in there. I would suggest getting it good and hot and forcing it to the correct contour while it cools. Might have to remove the fender for this, though...
You could try a suction cup if you cant get behind it. I have one that I got at an auto body shop. Its pretty strong... I stuck it to a nice flat surface and I can almost pull myself up alittle. Mine was expensive, but I know autozone has ones that work pretty well for not much money.
Looks like there is enough surface area to get the suction cup on there, and since its not creased, it should seal. Heating the panel up a tad might help alittle, but you could give it a try. Start at the outer top part of the dent, and try to work it out that way. Since its right at the fender lip, metal may not have stretched too bad to get that much of a dent. Might have just pulled the fender lip in alittle. Worth a shot...
Here is what Im talking about....
Good luck.
