There is no reason a decent powered impact won't quickly and easily remove it.
Have someone sit on the bike, put it in 1st and hold the brakes- yes both front and rear for best result.
'Nearly broke a socket'- you are using an impact socket right? Basic chrome sockets should NOT be used on impact and can be unsafe.
What 'impact wrench' are you using? Electric? Pneumatic? What model?
Heck- a decent length breaker bar and a dead blow hammer will pop it right off. The trick is holding the brakes.
If you don't have a helper- use something like a zip tie or tie down to pull the brake lever and pedal.
