It didn't touch the rubber dust seal a bit. If a little pressure could be appied to the tapered end in the removal direction when striking would help. Iif the threaded end is down and the tapered end is suposed to go upwards, a bottle jack underneath appling some pressure couldn't hurt.
Someone else had mentioned the two hammer method. Unfortunately it's so tight in there I could barely fit one hammer.
