They're not captive nuts, so will turn as you've found.

Even if you're on your own, you can carefully put a 13mm (from memory) ring spanner on the nuts from the engine bay side.

Then go back into the car and using a socket, slowly, not pushing or pulling, undo or do up the nut.

The spanner will move and jam against a bit of bulkhead, hold the nut and the job's done.

You might have to do this a few times to Make it work.

Or get someone else to hold the spanner as the gentleman says above. 2003 Td5 110 Hardtop
Now a 2013 110 USW too.
