Assuming the rim joint is not in the affected area...

I use an English wood vise.

1. Two 1/4" inch thick and 1" inch wide vertical strips of wood on the inside - spread out.
2. A 1 x 2 x 3 block with a slightly curved press point placed on the clamping side of the vise.
3. I assemble inner blocks, rim and press block in the vise.
4. The vice itself acts as a press.
5. I stop when the rim is 1/8" past it's original line.

I use this method for tacos....and also for flat spots on box profile rims.
