Default how to remove fuses?

On my previous cars they just were able to be pulled out without trying, but i just got an sc4 and il trying to replace some fuses but they wont budge. I dont want to destroy my fusebox if i pull too hard, is there a certain way to remove them or should i just tug a little harder? Thanks!

theres a tool that comes with the fuse box (fuse puller), either that or tweezers / needle nose plier.
when i changed mine i pulled it hard with my hand and it didnt come up so i got some tweezers. it wont mess up.

As have already been suggested, needle nose are your best bet. You won't break the fuse.

Wait a minute which fuse are you trying to pull?

I ask bc the big fuses are screwed in on both sides.
Example......My alternator fuse was blown, previous owner trying to reconnect the two parts and soldered them together .....Complete hack job. prob bc he couldn't figure how to replace it. But really it was screwed down to the base of the fuse box. You have to disassemble the big fuse box to acces the side screws
