How do you remove the @#$%& fan relays?

Maybe I'm missing something. Most relays have a tab that you can jimmy with a flathead screwdriver whereas some have a ridge that you can grab with a fuse puller and pop out. Those three relays for the low, off and high fan speeds are not moving. I know you can't yank them out or something will break but even my mechanic could not see how to remove them. I know someone here has an answer as its not even on YouTube.

Try this:

Looks like in this picture the relay has tabs on the side that would need to be removed from a clip. Not sure if your relays look the same but it's worth a try.

We're having torrential rains here or I'd go outside and visually check it out to see what's up. GL

Video is helpful. They do have tabs last summer when I had to replace one that was stuck open I remember pressing on the tab and I believe since it was a bad one anyway I ended up using pliers to hold and pull. They were on there pretty tough since they probably haven’t been removed in a long time

I will give it another go but I tried putting a flathead against it but nothing. Maybe they have been there for 12 years and are stuck on. They are on the firewall and there is no clear-cut tab visible.
