I've done this for decades, with a smaller ball peen hammer, smack the side of the fitting vigorously.  I never needed a "buck" behind it.  The shock will loosen the conical fitting (or should, unless it's a LOT tougher than it oughta be).  I've done this with things like tie rod joints also.  If you do it right, they will simply just fall out.  Loosen the nut first... :)
