Blue wrench the frame seems to be a common solution. AJR will tell you to
rebuild it in place. One solution I've seen work is to chain a piece of
1/4" steel plate to the frame, and use the plate to support a bottle jack. Put
pressure on the bottom of the relay, soak with good penetrating oil, and
leave overnight. Crank the jack up tight the next morning, and reapply
penetrating oil. Repeat until done...
