Default Reluctor ring question

So I was wondering if you could pull the old Reluctor rings off of a 10bolt an reuse them on a new mwc 9"? I bought one but need the Reluctor rings and can't find any new ones to buy. I'd prefer to reuse the old ones if that's an option to save money but if I have to buy them I will. Also if they will come off how hard are they to remove and what's the best way to do so. Thanks

I removed mine. I clamped the axle, heated up the wheel with a torch, then me and a buddy pried on them till they came off. Takes 5-10 mins a side being patient. I have my old ones laying around somewhere since I deleted abs.

Most rear end customers reuse their old rings.

This picture shows the ring itself can come off with nothing more than a pry bar. Please be careful in doing so.
