Looking for ideas - Removing ABS Sensor from Knuckle

Replacing front steering knuckle with new one with hub and bearing. Any ideas on how to remove the ABS sensor from my knuckle and putting in new one? I have tried this before and was unsuccessful - I ended up cracking the sensor and replacement part left me bleeding...

Best I can suggest is let some penetrating oil soak in for a bit...Seafoam Deep Creep, PB Blaster, or similar. WD-40 isn't a penetrant, no idea why people recommend it all the time. FTR I've never been able to remove a front ABS sensor without fatally damaging it, but on my car for some reason the rears come out just fine.
