front hub need help a.s.a.p

well here it goes i changed my front wheel bearings the old fashioned way by using the old bearing and a hammer, everything went good until I went to put my wheels back on. it seems that some how the arm that the tie rod end bolts on to got bent maybe and now the tie rod bole hits the inner wheel and I cant get my wheel back on ffs. any 1 ever had this happen and how did you fix it don’t really feel like dishing out 300$ for new hubs. thinking maybe if I heat it up and whack it with a mini sledge hammer I might be able to get it back far enough
