unbolt the 10mm bolt holding it in, unplug it, plug the new one in, and then put the 10mm bolt back in.

It's like literally a 30 sec job.

You can locate it under the dash, and using a pocket screwdriver pry out the relay from the box. Place the pocket screwdriver in and pry out on the short sides of the relay one @ a time. Then unplug the connector and plug in the new one.

Why would you want to do that and risk breaking or somehow messing up the circuit board when you can just unbolt it?
