I would not beat to hard on the broken lug without supporting the hub flange as this will damage the hub bearings.

Don't bang on it! bearing damage will occur. There is a tool made to push it out, basically 2 fingers on the back side and a screw on the outside. Or, remove the hub get a good surface to support the flange and wail away. Or, you may be needing new rear bearings anyway ~$95 a pair on Ebay, 4 bolts each (I did my last one in casual clothing before I went to work).
