Default Noob question. How do I remove this?

Hello,

I'm replacing Spark Plugs & I need to remove the fuse box. What is the proper way to remove the item i'm pointing at? Thank you.

pop that clip up and remove the nut underneath it. Ensure the battery is disconnected first.

The nut is difficult to remove without breaking the fuse box!!!!

Push the cover toward the rear of the car and rotate to the driver's side.

Maybe someone who has removed this or can find the old thread will chime in.

Plugs are supposed to last 100k miles, so why?

Here's a thread with some info. Using an impact wrench to remove the nut is recommended. Also look at the link noted in the thread.

Got it! Thanks guys. Plugs turned out to be pretty easy once you get cyl 8 & 7 out of the way
