How do you remove underhood fuse box?

I'm trying to replace my hood release cable and i need to remove the underhood fuse box to access the cable but I am having a hard time finding how the box is mounted or how to access the mounting screws. Anyone ever take this out?

I'm sure someone else will have a better answer seeing that I've never actually removed my fuse box. I do seem to remember that the block of fuses inside the box can actually be pulled up out of the box. It's been several years but I'm pretty sure I did that while running my laser jammer and sirius wires. Maybe lifting the block out will reveal some fasteners that are currently hidden?

I actually got it done without pulling it. I tied a string onto the end of the old cable when pulling it out through the firewall. Lubed up the new one and used string to pull it back into the cabin. Worked like a charm.
