'08 Nytro relay access question

[PolishMafiboss]

Need to gain access to the relays on a friend's sled. Pull the hood and right side cover and you can see them, but you can barely get hands into the first one. What is the easiest way to gain access to all 4 relays. I want to replace the old style relays with the SSR's. Along with figuring out why it won't start (code 43), so I'm assuming frozen relay after riding the other day. Relay seems to be most likely culprit.

How much of the items on the top of the engine need to come off? Headlight assy, air cleaner assy, and then? or can you remove some of the lower front end panels and get access that way.

Thanks for any input.

Should be able to pull just the hood and access them. they are in the front nose on the left if standing in front of sled.

Tried that. Not real accessible that way. And I don’t have large meat hook hands. I can barely get my fingers in there to pull the relay of the mount. Not a lot of extra wire to pull them out to unclip the harness. I am going to just start removing things until I can get to them easily. Going to replace 3 of those relays to avoid future problems.

If I remember correctly you can pull the mount plastic clip and yank it back. You have to pull all the plastics to get in there.
