I would not use a hammer or BFH! The non drive side doesn't look too good either. What do you have to lose? I would protect the surface and clamp from the stay joint to the end of the DO and squeeze. Be prepared for failure. I don't know the process for creating this part so can't opine a prediction! Can't be a casting or it would have failed!
