How to remove relay?

[s3bst3r]

I want to take out Relay #22 in my '04 Alero GL to disable my DRLs, but I have a question...

How the $#%@ do you remove it?! It's wedged in there pretty tight! I tried pulling hard but no go. Didn't wanna yank too hard for fear of breaking something.

I took a look and it looks as though you need some special tool to take them out or something.

Any insight? Greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Pull it straight up. wiggle it a bit.

Yeah it's a bitch, but it will come out. A very small screwdriver helps too. but use it on the top, not the bottom. You don't need to short anything out

yeah it just pulls up like redog said, I had use needle nose pliers to yank mine out

use a sledge, and crush it.... then pull out the pieces :lol:

but seriously... they do just pull straight out.

..actually its easier to remove the one next to it first then take it out, but I found that it throws a code at night time..at least on the 2000.
