Actually once you know what you are looking for, there is no need to remove the glove box to access the relay.
Remove the upper felt carpet thing from the passenger footwell and lie on your back peering up at the space behind the glove box. Once unclipped it will dangle on its wires to a point where you can more easily unplug it.
A useful dodge if it fails is to join a wire between fuses 4 and 6. This bypasses the relay and lets the fuel pumps run continuously. This is a get-you-home measure only - remember to disconnect afterwards!
Also useful in diagnostics - if the engine starts with the wire in place, but not normally, you know you have a faulty relay.
