How to Disconnect Relays

[RallyEclipse98]

I'm talking about the relays on the drivers side of the firewall. I need to disconnect them for my compression check. I have pushed in on the plastic tab on the front side and pulled downward and they will not budge. I don't want to bend up the metal fastener trying to get them out. Am I doing something wrong or are they just really hard to pull off?

Better safe than sorry! Thanks!

I just pulled pretty hard on the relay while holding in the tab and using the other hand to keep the bracket from bending downwards.
