help with wiper wheelbox removal

Hi everybody, I am stuck. I need to remove the nuts on the w/wiperer wheelboxes. They take a 7/8 wrench, but the internal mech turns with the nut. I can not find any way to hold the center to get these nuts off. Please Help.

I had the same problem. I just cut off the plastic bezel and put vice grips on them. Hopefully yours is plastic and not a chrome one. The new bezels are cheap so I didn't feel like messing with it. Used a dremel to cut a slot in it and split the bezel apart. I'm going to put a little spot weld on it when I put it back in so this doesn't happen again.
