Ray, I've had moderate luck removing the screw that holds them in place, and using a pair of vise grips, VERY slowly trying to twist them loose by grabbing the plastic top of the sensor. I always give them a squirt or two of PB Blaster beforehand, and if I feel that it has started to move after twisting, I stop, give it another squirt and let it sit for a few mins.
Either its going to come loose, and you gently work it / squirt it with penetrating oil until it comes out, or the plastic just plain old cracks when you try to remove it, and it was a lost cause to begin with. I suppose you could enhance your efforts by pulling the wheel bearings and squirting fluid up into the hole where the sensor mounts, but that's a mega pain in the arse, unless you REALLY need a sensor, and want to maximize your chance of victory.
