Disconnect and remove the battery.
Remove air cleaner cover and disconnect from intake.
Remove air cleaner box lower section.
Fuse box slides on rails but is held in place underneath by a plastic clip. Use flat head screwdriver under the box to pry up the clip then slide the fuse box out toward front of vehicle.

You have to remember that even when these boxes are not bolted, the wiring harness prevents it from moving much at all.
