    I have a 2006 Prius.

    I am having trouble pulling the ABS relays out so that i can bleed my brakes. Are they locked in some manner? or is the friction/corrosion fit my main culprit.

    I am looking for my pliers that open with parallel faces (can't think of the name right now) and thought i might
    slip on a abit of rubber(not vinyl) electric tape on the faces. maybe grab the diagonal edges as the edges are
    significantly stronger than the relay faces.

    Any suggestions?
