bashing the fucker back into place will go well in ruining the axle.
you need it on a stand to figure out the problem. you should also be doing the adjustments with the adjuster bolts, not a hammer. try running them in and out as far as they go. at this point in time your alignment is off so you will be doing that again anyways. just get the adjusters moving.
po' man's bike stand: find a thick steel rod or rebar, just small enough to go thru the axle. lean it over to one side, put a milk crate under the high side. repeat for the other side. your bike is now on a stand. just be careful with it. don't be using a power bar on nuts or you'll topple the bike.
if you can't find a rod, but happen to have spools on the bike, the milk crate thing will still work.
