In-Line Fuse holder Problem - HELP

bigdog · 05-10-2007, 05:04 AM

I was replacing a fuse in boat, which is in an "In-Line" fuse holder. When separating the fuse holder, the fuse crumbled and broke, leaving one end (the metal cap end), in one section of the fuse holder.

The problem is, how do I extract this piece from fuse holder? Can’t get any tool into end of holder? Needle-nose pliers do not work? Do not want to damage fuse holder if possible.

Any suggestions, short of cutting out fuse holder, and splicing in a new one?

Thanks!
