Exclamation Abs sensor broke off and frozen in knuckle. HELP

I pulled off my Abs sensor today because it tested bad. I drenched it in Pb blaster before and I started to pull it off. I tried to take it slowly, but the sensor broke off right at the hole. So now the part that's inside the knuckle is frozen in there. I soaked it some more in penetrating oil before I put stuff away. I don't want to take the knuckle off and the take the CV axle out. Limited tools and time. Is there an easier way to pull it out or should I take it to a shop to take it out? Any help is appreciated.

Drill it I guess. I remember having some trouble removing mine without the option of damaging it (was selling it).

But if it's already broken, just drill it out.
