Loosen the inner nut first (the skinny one), turning counter clockwise. Then turn the outer nut counter clockwise until the c-clip is accessible.

How big of a wrench are you using? I had to use a 2 foot pipe wrench to get mine off.

Put your wheels back on, have some sit on quad and tires, get a big pipe wrench, and a cheater bar to go over handle of pipe wrench. heat up the nuts with blow torch, that doesen't mean glowing molten steal either, little heat, few medium taps on the nut with hammer, work your way around the nut, then slap that wrench on there and use some muscle it will come off. then do the same to the big one.
