If a socket isn't available would encasing the relay and the wires in heat
shrink work as well?   Wouldn't fit in a small box anymore though.

-----Original Message-----

This relay clearly was not designed to be used without a socket to
mechanically support the terminals, and/or the mechanical staking of the
terminal into the relay baseplate has failed.  I'd suggest getting a socket
under it or its replacement if at all possible.
