I have a 92 buick century that I drive. I bumped a pole a couple of days ago and broke the right turn signal assembly out. I'm sure I'll have to replace screws and whatever on the signal light because it just feel out. probably some plastic clips or something like that. somehow I bent the right quarter panel where the door meets the panel. Now I cant open the door. I think its because the panel is bent behind the door. I want to pull it back to where it is flush with the door. any suggestions on how to do this without having the proper stuff. I'm not looking for a pro like job just something that will make the door functional
 
That's the fender you're talking about,not the 1/4 panel.The fender is probably bent back and inward very slightly at the door,so that when the door is opened there is no clearance between the two.We generally use a flat,wide tool resembling a putty scraper to insert in the gap between the two and pry the fender back out and away,using the door edge as the pivot point.You are going to need a flat piece of steel to do this with.Something like a shelf bracket or something similar around the house.A flat screwdriver will work but it's pretty narrow and will ding the front of the door.
