location of the main fuse

Hi all,
I turn on the ignition and nothing happening, suspected to be a blown fuse, anyone know where the location for the main fuse, thanks
 
My first guess would be the battery not the fuse.  Not only could the battery itself be dead but a common issue is the GROUND connection from the battery to the frame inside the battery compartment.  Corrosion builds up there and insulates the connection.

Check the battery with a voltmeter.  If that's OK, unbolt the ground lead and clean the aluminum on the frame connection with some sandpaper and then put a small dab of dielectric grease (or just vaseline if that's all you have).  Just a thin coating is all you want here.  Then put the ground lead back on and tighten the bolt.  Don't over torque it as it will strip out easily.
 
the main fuse is in that battery compartment, next to the batt, where the main relay lives... but pull all the cable ends, and clean them and the termination points abrasivly, and re install

So... How do you pull it out? I don’t want to break it or something else by “learn by doing”. I see the spare and assume the working fuse in behind it. The red clip needs to be popped and I assume the working fuse is under it. The confined space is pushing me to use force to get at it. Suggestions before I break something?
