When you're using a pickle fork to separate a press fit, even if you grease the hell out of it before you start, it's easy to tear them. There is no way to repair that rubber bushing with enough efficacy to resist the re installation.

If it were my Porsche, I'd eat it and buy a new piece. However, the ball joint can likely give you many more miles of wear regardless of the tear. It will likely fail prematurely, that is especially true if you run where they use corrosives on the roads for winter, like in NY.
