Does anyone know a way to remove them, with out unsoldering the wires from the psu?

Yeah I wish :D I still need them though. Im about to sleeve the psu wires, and these connectors are stopping me from sleeving one of the cables!!! I found no way to remove them either.
 
There is usually a plastic rectangular "bar" on top of the wires....pry it off. Using a jewlers screwdriver carefully pry up the wire. The SATA power connectors are usually pressed onto the wire and as it goes into the connector it actually cuts the wire a bit so when you remove the connector you may have to cut the wire and reinstall it. The reinstall of the SATA connector is a bit tricky as you can cut the wires in half if you aren't careful. I would suggest using a Panavise to press the wires back on unless you have one of the special tools specifically for doing this.
