Default Replacing Relays on a C5

I have a C5 with what I think to be a bad hacth/trun release relay (#39). I have located the relay. How do I replace it? I have attempted to pull on the relay to detach it from the fuse block but it does not want to come off. I do not want to force it.

Seriously though, some of the relays can be a little stubborn. If you have the room, take a flat bladed screwdriver and wedge it in under one side of the relay and gently twist. As the relay raises a little, do the same for the other side. I've had to do this myself.
