Usually the shock of the impact will released the clip

Or use a bigger pry bar and hammer and hammer it
I hadn't thought to hit the inner joint, I'll definitely give this a shot tonight.

more than likely, your c-clip around the shaft is deformed or the splines are damaged if your having this much issue taking it out
I wanted to try that yesterday but couldn't find anything that would work, but I got something today so I'll definitely give this a shot tonight too.

I was thinking damaged splines could be the issue...

I've rotated it a good hundred times... no dice.
