[OM] Damaged 135/2.8 hood

I have a 135/2.8 which fell, and although the lens itself appears to be OK (it is not visibly damaged, and produces good pictures), the built-in hood (which was extended when the lens fell) is visibly dented, to the point that it has become difficult to extend/retract.

Is it possible for a non-technical person like me to remove the hood, try to work it into a smoother appearance with a hammer or other tool, and put it back on the lens? The problem is that I cannot find how to remove it from the lens in the first place ;-)
