No, size makes no difference. I have no stripdown information on this pparticular lens, but are you sure that the name ring is just a 'decorator' and not the front element retainer? If it is the latter, the front element may just be a very tight fit in the recess. I have had instances of this type of construction where front element removal has required the use of a vacuum pump and large rubber sucker, the proprietary rubber bulb variety just did provide enough grip.

Close examination with a magnifier should indicate a visible lens edge, if the front ring is the actual retainer.
