it comes out, theres 2 small panel door openings on both sides of the fuse cluster.. 2 10mm bolts on 1 side and 1 on the other, take out all 3 of them (MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED) and it comes out. its not a snap in job like the rest of them

hey, some people never have to remove that fuse and some cars don't have the mains bolted in like that...just make sure you disconnect your battery before messing with that fuse
