Are all speaker relays removable? One receiver with two relays?


Hi there, I mean if all speaker relay COVERS are removable. I have a Yamaha AX-730 and suspect it needs some cleaning. I tried to use two nails as levers to lift the black plastic cover but it seems it can’t be removed. Not sure if I should apply more force, being afraid I may have in fact loosened the solder. Do some speaker relays have fixed covers so they have to be desoldered for cleaning? Or by cutting a hole on the cover for cleaning?

I also find a black box of the same size and shape above the relay (please see the photo) but without any identification on it. What is that?

Do not try to clean the contacts, just replace it with a Fujitsu FTR-F1AA024V

It is a similar relay, could be replaced by someone, maybe the data is printed on the side wall instead on top.
