Default mod on other steering clamp

i think eric's site has something on a mod to add additional pressure on the clamp to further reduce torque steer. this mod would have complemented the DIY brace i made until i snapped the bolt hooking the brace to the wheel well. oh well. anyone know exactly how i am supposed to remove the fuse box? i could not find the screw or how to remove the clips. pics would be awesome but words will do just fine. eric's site is very sparse on details.

Why do you need to remove the fuse box? The clamp goes on the other side of the steering rack, farthest from the fuse box. If you must take it out, there's a 10mm black plastic nut that has to be removed, and then you'll have to pry up the clip under the weatherstripping with a very small flat-bladed screwdriver. Once you've pried the clip loose a half dozen times, it will come off without any tools at all.

Now I see! The first time you take off that fuse box, it's a pain, but a lot of us with cable clutches have gotten pretty good at getting the fuse box out very quickly to mess with the adjuster.
