Default Seperating front hub/strut

I have been trying to remove the n/s strut on my car this afternoon, to sort my negative camber issue. Undid the drop link to ARB nut, cracked the lower pinch bolt/hub joint - the top hub pinch bolt put up quite a fight, but came out eventually. Started to tap the hub downwards with a plastic hammer, with a bit of levering under the brake hose bracket - it has gone down about an inch, but I am struggling to move it down further. Any suggestions on how to complete the separation ? I am wary of using too much force in case I damage something or the drive shaft comes out of the gearbox.

Thanks in advance

Pete
