I want to swap the 200 Amp fuse in the Fuseholder SG unit (on the +ve terminal module of the auxiliary battery under the passenger seat) for a 60Amp one for the feed an Orion XS that I’m installing. However, it looks like all the fuses are riveted or pressed on to the terminal posts in some way. Anyone any idea on how to change these fuses? Are they just a push fit? All input welcome. Many thanks.

Dont think they are designed to be replaced, if they blow i think you just buy a new block (which replaces all fuses)

If thats the fuse that VW fit in that location then the cable will be up to the job so doesnt seem much benefit in replacing it ?
Personally if i was set on downrating that fuse i would prob add a 60 at the other end before the XS connection maybe ?

Many thanks @Pauly. I’ve put a 60 Amp fuse where the Split Charge Relay was between the starter battery feed and the XS. I thought it would be prudent to fit a 60 Amp fuse at the auxiliary battery end rather than leave the 200 Amp fuse in place.

Following @EAN ’s suggestion, I’ve now managed to replace the fuse by drilling the 200 Amp VW one out, putting an M6 screw through the hole and fitting a 60 Amp fuse. With a bit of judicious filing to open out the fuse hole slightly, it now fits.
