there are 3 bolts that hold it in. There is a flap that covers these bolts. There is 2 bolts on one side, and one on the other side. Open up the flaps, I used a screwdriver to just pop them open since I don't have fingernails at all, and then just take out the bolts. You will probably have to take the fuse box off of the current mount to get a ratchet onto the one bolt facing the rear of the car. Don't forget to disconnect the negative terminal of your battery. Yeah it's common sense, but rather be safe than sorry

do all RX-7s have it like that? I think that my 88 SE didnt. When I had to replace the main fuse on my 89 GXL, took me a while to figure out
