I ran into the same roadblock when trying to remove my rear fuse block to troubleshoot and electrical issue. Memory is kinda foggy, but I THINK what I did was, loosen all the tabs, kept them disengaged with a pick tool, and then tapped on that long bolt (after being unscrewed and spinning freely) to push the connector out just enough that I could pull on it by hand.
These Videos are Helpful on the Fuse Box Sectional Dis-Assembly Procedures:
One other procedural step might include the use of your DMM when Testing for Continuity at every single Right Angle Position by placing One Probe on one side of the Bends and the other Probe on the opposite side of the Bends... adjacent where the work-hardened 20 AWG Copper Trace is angled because it might otherwise be difficult to see the actual breaks in the Copper Wire without using a Bright Flashlight and a Powerful Magnifying Lens. The Continuity Test would reveal even the smallest cracks in those Copper Traces:

An issue I ran into was some of the female connectors had welded themselves to the male spade making removal impossible.
