Under the hood relay removal

[BamaDrewski]

Not sure if anyone has experienced this but the relays in the box under the hood are a real PITA to remove. I want to replace my EFI relay and the relay that is in there now (never changed while I have owned the truck) is marked with Toyota Part #90080-87026. (It's a baby blue colored relay)

Looking for a replacement, it seems this relay is for the HVAC on our rigs. My rig is a 2000 T4R LTD 4WD. Anyone know the correct part number for this relay and any tips on removing these things?

Thanks for any tips/advice/info!

Multi purpose relay used for more than one function.

Thanks man! You were correct.

A little more info: My truck seemed to suddenly develop a problem with fuel delivery and that is why I inquired about the EFI relay. Turns out, just about any Toyota relay (the same base size of course) will work for the EFI. I had pulled a handful of relays from PullaPart as "spares" and popped one in. She fired up just like new - if not better. I guess after 18 years, the original relay was on its last leg.

After 20 years the relays are baked in there pretty good. Some get moisture in there which really bonds them in place.

You figured it out, just pull harder. I had to use vicegrips once.
