Default fuse removal

I have a 65 fastback and can't remove the darn fuses. Is there a special puller for inline fuses. One of them is only about an inch long, and I can't even get a finger in there to remove it. Any suggestions/recomendations welcomed, thanks!

They sell fuse pullers at any parts store. Kinda looks like a tweezzer like object.

I just use a small flat blade screwdriver and get one side to slide out, then use my fingers to pull it out. Been doing that for eons.

Default RE: fuse removal

Are they rusted or melted in? First, if they are really stuck, I'd disco the battery so that you don't short/arc anything. Assuming the things are really stuck in there and the plastic puller or needle nosed plier don't work, take a very small flat blade screw driver and gently pry the metal retaining clip away from the body of the fuse just enough to break it free (be careful not to bend too far as to break it). Then, after breaking it free, use that little screwdriver and try to pry it out like Soaring said as close to the metal end to reduce the chance of breaking it. If that fails, break the sucker out and fish out the metal pieces with a screwdriver or pliers.
