This is pretty simple man. Have you ever changed oil?

Moved this to IOM from NICO Gen Chat.

But the easiest way to remove the relay is to take a bladed screw driver and slide it on to the tab and then pull up on the relay while you use the screw driver to keep the tab depressed. Relays tend to stick to the bases, so you'll have to do some pulling and wiggling, but once it releases, it'll come out easily.

Also, your camera needs better macro focusing. Or you need to stand further away and use the zoom function

Well, most definitely not a camera!

It should come out as a unit... it sounds like the top separated - but I've never seen that. Might want to post another pic?

Sounds like it may now be toast. How about some needle nose pliers? Or needle nose ViceGrips? Maybe a quick shot of Miracle Jizz at it's base will help.(PB Blaster, AeroKroil, Liquid Wrench etc)
