Default Help to remove fuse box under hood to get to upper control arm nut?

I stopped before I broke something, but I need to replace the upper control arm passenger side on a 96 accord lx and the fuse box is right on top of it.
I removed 2 bolts and there is a place where the bracket is attached to the firewall that doesnt seem to be removable, no bolt there.
Whats the right way?

It's been a few years since I removed the fuse box, but from what I recall.
Disconnect the battery cables.
Disconnected the two bolted cables.
Disconnect the three wire clear connector.
Unbolt the one bolt on the leading side.
Use a flat blade screw driver, gently prise back the tabs that are on the firewall side of the fuse box.
It may be hard to see but where the two rear tabs of the fuse box cover attach there are two more slots. These slots are where the silver bracket mounted to the firewall slides into.

Thanks again Mad Mike, I rushed it before your reply and did most of what you listed, except the tabs.
All I did was unlink the cables you mentioned and there was enough lift on that one rotating bracket on the firewall to sneak in a socket.
