you can hammer it all day, if you want to get it right you will need a heavy dolly to hold on the opposite side, for the time it will take you would be better of getting a new one.

I picked up one local for $40. Not much market here, prices are high. Went to a larger yard, got front and rear impact bars for $22 each. Takes a deep well 13 mm socket to get them off.
