Holy crap! Just needed to put the impact gun on it and there was immediate separation after I did both ports.

I don't think the wheel speed sensor has to be removed but it doesn't hurt to check it.

Edit: I would not do what's done in the video @FirstWinter posted, that could cause some dinged up surfaces by putting that much torque on one edge of the rotor. You could potentially fuck up the emergency brake assembly. Start with the two holes in the disc and if that is problematic you can try more extreme measures.
