Rear ABS sensors are siezed up - how to remove?

OK, I cannot remove this for the life of me from the rear knuckle...

1) I took the bolt off and tried shaking the plug, tapped it lightly with a rubber mallet, 2) I tried sticking a flat head under the plug edges and tapping hoping to free it up

Well, I broke one trying to removed it!

My Evo has been a gravel car since day 1 and lived a hard life, so I am certain this is the cause since FSM makes it look like stealing candy from a baby. Even my swaybar endlink bolts were messed up and had to be cut off....

Anyone have this issue and if so how did you resolve it?

PS - If someone has part no's for the rear sensors, please post up. I want to see how badly the stealership is about to bend me over and stick it...

once sensors get to that point, ie siezed up then its tuff to remove them w/o damaging the part. its been a while since you posted so im sure you figured it out by now.
