removing RJ45 jacks from face plate

Any easy way to remove Leviton RJ45 jacks from face plate? They 
are so firmly stuck to the plate. I am afraid if I forcefully 
remove them, they'll break.

Remove the faceplate from around the jack by nibbling it away with 
pliers or sidecutters.

Assuming you're talking about the keystone type jacks, the easiest way is to 
use a screwdriver to push down on the longer snap-in tab and pull it out.  I 
sometimes use my punchtool for best leverage and because it's always handy.
