Removing fuse from fuse block.

[Hbar]

I need to remove a 40 amp fuse from the fuse block under the hood on my 2015. It's one of those little fat, square fuses, with no apparent grab place. I tried piers, but all that did was break the top off. I can't get a grip anywhere on it. How is this done without damage?

Should come out by pulling straight up.

You would think, but there is absolutely no room to grab it. It's almost flush with the block, except for the cap that pulled off, breaking part of the side case.

Needle nose and grab the side since it has to be replaced anyway.

They usually come out with the correct application of colorful language & threats towards the idiot that designed them.

Be glad it's not in the passenger footwell!!!
Been there, done that.

You've seen me work on cars, haven't you....

Been there, done that. I checked a couple there with no problem.

Well, I did that. I needed to see if it was blown. Broke it all up, but at least, it would plug back in. Gotta replace it for sure.

That is my starting point on most all car work.

Thanks for replies. I was hoping someone knew of a puller. Oh, well, I know my next invention that will make me a hundredaire. lol

I work on "old crap" all the time and typically, I'll just try to break it loose first with extended wiggling, moving other stuff etc. Pressing down on high amp fuses to break the welded bonds that have built up over the years seems how I'd try it...

Good idea on pushing down. There is absolutely no wiggle room. It's down in the block with only the top and a mini-smidgen of the case showing. Any pressure on the case and it breaks off. Nothing otherwise to move. Same fuses on both side. Total design failure. Thanks for replying.
