How do I change this fuse type?

It's my first time trying to change this type of fuse and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Look at the attached picture from the TL manual. I pulled this exact fuse group, it's from a 2012 TL (under the hood fuses) and I want to pull the fuse 2-5 so that my headlight washers won't work (Canadian model).
These fuses all seem to be connected, I didn't know how to separate them to remove the one I don't need without breaking something.
Can you help??? How do I do this? Pics would be great.
Thanks, AL.

The "connected fuses" you refer to is called "multi-block fuse".

It is actually one single fuse block, and the enclosed fuses cannot be separated or pulled, without damaging it.

Thanks Edward'TLS, I was not familiar with these fuses. I'm glad I asked before trying to separate them.

Now I'll have to figure out another way to stop the headlight washer from automatically activating.

Yeah I tried to pull these fuse but I couldn't (see me original post) I wish it would have worked as it would have been an easy fix.

I ran into this fuse type problem as well.
How did some of you just pull this multi fuse?
i'm leaning towards disconnecting the headlight washer pump.

I ended up disconnecting the pump, no issues so far.
There is a separate pump for the windshield washer towards the firewall and the headlight washer pump is closest to the front bumper, same as you'd change a passenger side fog light bulb (1 bolt and 1 fender clip from the bottom).
Took about 5 minutes.
