Need Help. Removing Driver Side CV Axle!

I didn't seem to have much of an issue removing cv's. Only done the both 3 times though. I leave the aftermarket skid plate on and get an angle on the inner knuckle, take an oversized flathead and pry a little on the opposite side at the same time. Comes out easy every time, no special tools needed.

 

Mine did not want to move! It had recently been installed (not by me) with two dust covers behind it which may have had something to do with it. I bent a 3/4" thick crowbar mid-shaft trying to lever on it!! Tried two bars at once, multiple angles, the slide hammer trick pictured in this thread, pretty much anything I could think of. It also didn't have the three groves around the tulip that help in removal and installation.
