Masonry blade on a grinder. Cut a section out. Use two 4" rubber sleeves to insert a 4"x2"x4" tee in the cutout. Tighten the hose clamps on the rubber sleeves and run your drain to the 2" inlet. Good luck and this is something I have done before.
I hadn't thought of that approach, I was thinking of using a holesaw to drill a hole to insert the 2" into, and sealing with silicone.
Your way sounds better. Thanks.

Glad to help! Be sure that each side of the cuts are supported if not already. You may need to insert and glue a few inches of 4" PVC pipe on either side of the T if the T doesn't fit the rubber sleeves.
