Ok, so the Battery fuse (100A) is blown...

Is it correct to assume the blown fuse stopped any damage from happening? (The purpose of fuses right?)

How do I replace this fuse? I can't seem to be able to pull it out...is it screwed in or something?
A blown fuse prevents a reverse currant from running through your electrical system. In other words, its so you don't Fuk things up.

If you dont know what your doing then maybe you should either consult someone on here or relate to the "BIG Three" thread again and make sure you do everything correct. Never under any circumstances mess with ground wires or any other wires while the car is running, you may seriously injure yourself or death.

As far as the fuse, I never had to take that one out. Try looking around for some screws that might hold it down like the previous member said. If you dont see any, get a pair of pliers to gently coax it out.

Yes, it's a bigger 'box' fuse with a clear cover...

I'll go by my auto-shop tomorrow and see if they have; if not I guess I have to go to Honda...

Nothing I can do tonight I guess...i'll let everyone know how it goes tomorrow.

Rep points all around lol

The local autoparts store probably wont have one that fits exactly right. Ive tried this before. You're probably going o have to go directly to honda for it, but dont fret, its only like $8 for the fuse.

Anything bigger than about 40A in the fuse box is going to have 2 flat terminals that are screwed in place. Remove the screws, pull it straight out and replace, no biggie.

Auto store will probably have it, its not an uncommon type of fuse. Expect to shell out some money though.

This is the reason we disconnect the negative cable first and hide it far away from the negative terminal.

Yup, store had the exact one for ~9$...lol

Thankfully everything is working (so far);

Big thanks to everyone, and yeah, I'll probably stay away from tinkering for a while lol.
Man that one bolt on the alternator...I really didn't want to remove the fan, but I guess I'll have to sooner or later.

Thanks again!
