You don't need to remove them.

The fronts don't come off, they are integrated into the hub.

The rears are pressed on with the backing plates. They don't weigh ****, the wheel is like 10 ounces.

im removing alot of weight off of the car. mainly things that the car doesnt absolutely need to run, with exception of the monsoon and keeping the interior looking stock. i have already removed the abs control box. i hardly ever drive the car. its mainly a track car with an occasional fair weather weekend cruise. doing alot of work this fall and winter while its garaged til spring

The rear sensors are held into the backing plate by a single 10mm bolt. Just unplug and remove the bolt. If you are still running a 10 bolt, you have to pull the axles to remove the reluctor wheels. I just heated them up and was able to pry them off. As was mentioned above though, it's really not worth the effort.

i read in some threads where they were able to pry the reluctor wheels off with a prybar

would it be possble to pry the reluctor wheels off of the axle and break them off so i wouldnt have to go thru the time of removing axles?

It will probably be hard since there won't be much room to work between the backing plate and the axle flange. Only one way to find out. Worst case you will have to remove the axles completely, which really isn't hard.

Capture the fluid in a clean container and place it back into the housing once the cover has been replaced. Problem solved.

There should be a small bolt (runs parallel to the axle tubes) on the center portion of the carrier that either holds a pin or a square block (paddle) in place. Once you remove the bolt, the pin or paddle should be able to be removed. Once either is removed (make sure the abs sensors are removed also), the axles can be pushed in and expose the c-clips. A magnet comes in handy in removing the c-clips. Once they are removed the axles will be free to slide out. Just be careful not to damage the seal at the end of the axle tube if you plan to reuse them.
