Default 2000 WJ Steering joints

Changing all 4 of the tie-rod ends / ball joints on my 2000 WJ - done 3 of them, last one is connected to the pitman arm - just cannot get it to come off !!! Using a heavy duty ball-joint splitter and no go !.
Any tips / advice ???

*** SORTED ***


Gave it one last turn on the splitter with a long breaker bar - I swear I could see the splitter starting to flex - and it finally came apart with a BANG !!!


This was the easiest joint to unscrew from the threaded tube by far - all of the other 3 were almost seized...lots of WD-40 and big pipe wrench came in handy.
