The steel casing is tapered, you will see if you look close. You need to hammer it out the correct way but try not to rest the open end of the wishbone on whatever you rest it on when hammering otherwise you will fold the metal inwards.

You need to knock it out towards the fatter end of the taper (it wont go the other way) you need to hit the steel bush which should stick out ever-so slightly from the pressing of the wishbone.
