Help: how do I move fuse box

[volken65]

Hello all, I’m hoping someone here can chime in on how to move the fuse box to paint the engine bay. I can only lift it up a few inches. I’ve removed the booster and the rubber grommet around the wire harness at the firewall. Am I missing something? I’ll try to load a picture.

Fuse box is part of chassis harness all you can do is unbolt it and flip it out of the way unless you pull chassis harness.

Okay thanks. It doesn't flip to the side very much. Will it help if I cut the zip ties inside the fuse box? I’ve started undoing some on the wire harness under the dash. But concerned if I tug the wires too much that I’ll break something.

Wires to the fuse box go everywhere; engine, front lights area, under dash, passenger compartment, rear of car. You'll have to pull a lot of wires to get it out. Is it really worth it?

To me its worth it.. I like to see a super clean engine bay. But man that's a lot of wires, lol.

So i cut the lower portion of the fuse box off and will start de-pinning the fuse box. I'll post progress as i clean this mess up.
