Anyone ever take apart an Intermatic P1353ME?

Found out that the AUX1 circuit contacts stays closed no matter what (tested with continuity tester). I'm thinking that relay has gone bad even though it still clicks with each button press. Everything else tested okay (AUX2 & AUX3, timer functions).

Has anyone ever taken one of these apart? I'd hate to have to replace one of these $300 timers because of a $3 relay which I already located in stock at Digikey. I've already got all the screws out, even the tiny one on the top left, what else is there?

Relatively easy after that if you are careful with soldering/de-soldering work. Do you use the other two spots? If not, just replace the wiring onto one of those and re-program the clock.

Yeah my current problem is trying to lift the PCB from the casing. Despite removing all the screws already I can only lift it up it very slightly.
