HELP URGENT!! Need help to get the tie rod off.

The car is in pieces as we speak so I need an answer asap if anyone can help. I need to replace the drivers side tie rod as the rose joint is rattly and loose plus I'm changing the wheel bearing/hub at the same timel but the tie rod doesn't seem to want to budge and undo from the rack. I can feel that there is a small cut out on the bottom of the rack shaft where the tie rod screws in and was wondering if it's a key way or something as I can't get my fat head under there with the car just jacked up and supported. Is there a key way under there with a key locking the tie rod in place or is it just that the tie rod is stupidly tight and I just need more leverage? I don't want to go leaning on it if it is locked in place as any number of nasty things can potentially happen if I put enough muscle into it, so any guidance would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Bushbasher
