Replacing fuses Need help

[disregard]

After replacing nearly all the fuses on my car as preventive maintenance
theres one thats giving me a huge problem. The 80 amp alternator Fuse hooked up to the battery. Every other fuse pulls out easily and is easily replaced but i cant seem to get this last one out for nothing. It just wont budge. Am I missing something ? How the hell do i get this damn thing out ?

you have to take the whole terminal off the battery first there's a screw holding it on from below... some sort of safety i suppose

Found the screw actually 2 screws, one on each side bolting it on. Btw when that fuse is out the car does NOTHING, like there's no battery at all in it. The screws are hidden on each side of the terminal beneath some plastic flaps that pop off.

I have another question what kind of wire should i use to replace my grounds to the chassis and transmission ? Im geussing 4 gauge right ?

8 gauge should be sufficient, but most people use 4 gauge. While you are in there, add extra grounds for the alternator, engine block, head, etc.

I dont know if you have subs in your car, but i do, and my lights dim a bit every time the sub hits. The gauges dim, PRND2L lights dim, brake lights dim, headlights dim. The original grounding just isnt sufficient.
