10mm socket+rachet, extended 15mm sockect with longest extension on it, slide over back of rachet and you should get it off now.
If you turn the wheel so the front edge points out then you'll have more space too.

the 10mm alan bolts have lock-tite on them, try heating them up and undoing them, or use a 10mm alan socket and rachet, and put a bar on the end for extra leverage.

the ones with the rubber sleeves over them is the slider bolts, they are smaller than 10mm, they shouldnt be that tight.
