    Removing Fuse Box Screws

    Are there any tips for removing these screws? I can't get them out because they're going towards the wall. Please see the attached images.

    Just put a swivel on your socket.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll have to pick one of those up as I don't have one. I'll try it again tonight and post back the results.

    Yup, a swivel & Torx bit will do. Try to get the shortest one you can, with a longer extension above and keep downward pressure as you're backing them out. They are made to not pull all the way out btw, so once you have all the threads disengaged, it will move abou 1/4" up & down but will stay anchored in the fuse box lid - so you don't loose them.
