Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I did notice the lack of metal movement that smaller hammers made and found myself using more effort when using them. I did switch to a bigger ball peen that seemed to help.

As for reaching in, I used the ball peen and also a steel bar mounted in a vise, soft of like a dolly. I also cut off an inch off the end to help the metal fold in. Which it turns out was too much, so now I have to weld in a patch to close it up.
