Moved to technical.
Start with the simple suggestions. Make sure you have the correct size socket and a breaker bar. After that - heat.

six sided socket. A breaker bar is all you should need. helps if you can steady the block with your leg or someone else to hold it.

Yer yer, maybe i slightly rounded two off!
Hmm..weetabix sounds good too.
But first, off to buy some six sided sockets rather than my old ones, thank you muchly!

Bolts undo anticlockwise
Use a 5/8" AF socket and a breaker bar.

Put the block on it's side so you are useing your weight to help undo the bolt.
