The rear diff housing on my hilux is bent wheels are hard real hard to turn.How much damage will this do if I drive it!

Might be a bit hard on your clutch, but I would suspect that the real damage is done already. What did you hit!

Park it now & replace it ASAP before you totally screw the entire diff.
The diff head is probably ok.
Are both wheels hard to turn or only 1
Can you 'see' the bend in the diff housing & how bad is it if bent or is it just a wheel.
If you can't see any major bends then you might be able to salvage the axles

you can straighten them using a oxy / acettorch and cold water on a rag or in a little squirty bottle
