Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP

My nephew with whom I am most displeased is visiting our home. Last night he decided to poke the dust cap of my Kharma speaker three times. Fortunately he did not perforate the cap, but it is dented in.

Does anyone know of a way to pull the cap back out?

Earnestmoney....I should mention that "soft dome tweeters" are the drivers that I have had the best luck with. (essentially a perfect repair). Drivers with hard caps are more difficult, and may show a crease, although the dent will be gone.

Eldartford, you make me "work" to explain things in detail just like my older and wiser brothers (fully intended as a compliment).

Nrchy, remember to practice and good luck.

I got an e-mail back from Kharma, and they recommend sticky tape to try to pull the cap back out. Since they gave the go-ahead I will try this. Masking tape did not work, but I will try something more aggressive.

Duct tape .. that's what you need. Preferably an old roll that's sat in the garage for a few long hot summers and is starting to ooze its glue and has dust stuck to the edges. If it's stuck to the self or drawer you find it in so much the better :-)
