Leaders removing one dent in iron (5)
I believe the answer is:
press
'iron' is the definition.
(I know that iron can be written as press)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for press that I've seen before include "Smooth" , "rags together" , "demand immediate action" , "Jam" , "Crush; iron" .)
