*** 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.
