2023 bobcat e55 thumb cylinder fitting

[Billyg371]

So I must have snagged the thumb hose on a branch and ended up bending the fitting. It’s leaking now and I can’t use the thumb. Bobcat told me they would press a new fitting in for $1200. I feel like that is nuts and I’m not sure how they would even press a fitting in. Any insight on this? Here’s so photos.
