    That bolt threads into the exhaust housing to hold gearcase at the back.-----Obviously that will need a heli-coil.-----There MUST be a local shop that can sort this motor out.

    Hammering on the end may " mushroom " the end of the cable.---Makes it impossible to remove.-------Here I would remove that tilt tube.----Grind the tube to split / remove it , to salvage cable if it is still good.----Then replace parts as needed.-----Your location?
