I take it you got it sorted? If so, you couldn't enlighten me. Other than using the other solution "Just pull it"

There should be a fuse removal tool in the fuse box, it looks like a pair of plastic tweezers.

Failing that use some needle nose pliers but be gentle.

The alternator fuse is a big one though, isn't it, the 120A one ? Not one of the small ones that you can use the fuse removal tool on. I presume it just pulls out. Maybe you're talking about a different fuse though.

the alternator fuse is a large plastic covered fuse. this is bolted onto the fuse rail in the fuse box. the proper way to remove is to undo the 10mm alternator wire on the end of the rail, then unclip the rail (theres a number of clips holding the rail down) and pull it up carefully. then you can undo the 2x 10mm bolts holding in the fuse.

another way to do it (a bit quicker and easier but i wouldnt recommend) is to drill a small hole in the side of the fuse box to gain access to the 10mm bolts holding the fuse in, and then just remove.
