Leaking kitchen mixer tap.

It seems this is as far as it will come up with steady force and I just wanted to see if anyone is familiar with this fitting before I try and use more force to pull it up and out hopefully.
There doesn't seem to be any further notch or groove holding it in, i turned it 360.

Thanks in advance.
