(2007) @#%$ Fuse Puller Doesn't Work

This is a minor subject, I know, and it might be something wrong with ME rather than my RDX, but I CAN'T get the fuse puller provided in the cover for the engine-compartment fuse box to work on those tiny ATM-PL fuses. If the problem is me, then aftermarket products will do me no good. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, did you solve it, maybe with a 2008 fuse puller?

@#%$ Fuse Puller Won't Work

It helps to hear it's me. I'll try again/harder. Wouldn't be the first time.I called the fuses ATM-PL, while they're ATM-LP (low-profile). I can pull the fuses with a (medical) hemostat, but I'm still prone to dropping the tiny thing into a crevice.

Does one SQUEEZE the puller, or SPREAD it while extracting?

use something else. you're just going to get frustrated.
use NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS!!!!!!

that little fuse puller SUCKS!!! and if your hands arent used to grabbing small detailed things, your hands will start to cramp!! mine did anyway, as I'm a keyboard office worker...

I'm telling you, its super easier to forget the fuse puller and use Needle Nose Pliers.
