Default How do you remove underhood fuse/relay box?

I wanted to swap out my fuse box and figured it would be a easy task for me but apparently not. I unhooked the 4 side clips to see the 3 exposed section of wires going into the underside of fuse block. I noticed that there are 3 7mm nuts so I figured I would just loosen those and voila...Well I did and all 3 keep turning no matter how much I looses. I can get the section somewhat out I would say almost 1/8" out and see the nuts are holding that section in but how do I get the nut out or remove this thing? Figured I would stop before I popped a wire out. Thanks

The plugs are held in very tight due to the force on the male/female pin fitment. PULL AND wiggle the connector .
