Wicksie,
Bottom picture with hexagonal bolt-head thing - should turn anticlockwise to remove (judging by the picture of the threads - unless my eyes are deceiving me, or you have flipped the image). You will need to remove this one first (don't bother putting a spanner on the other side at the same time - it won't help).
Other one (top picture) likely to turn the other way to remove. However, the tools you have in that picture look totally inadequate for that job. I tried removing mine with a big, good quality adjustable and failed, but when I found my big flat spanner (designed for BB removal), it was actually really easy.
Where are you based - anywhere near SW9? Otherwise, find somewhere nearby with a big vice you can borrow for 60 seconds.
