On my M15 I tried hammering a rod down from the top, and it caused a lot of damage to the inside of the centerboard trunk that took a lot of work to fix once I got the keel down, but it didn't move the centerboard at all. I would really strongly recommend against continuing with that course of action.
What worked for me was building a puller and pulling down from the bottom, per a design posted by Captain Jim Sadler on this board. I am attaching the photos of the puller I made with just a dremel and standard hardware store parts.
