Remove water from pan and cistern then once all screws are removed I find it best to place hands under the pan and slightly towards you from where the wingnuts are and lift both out together.
 
Do the bolts have a screw head?
If so, hold the wing nut still, and use a big screwdriver, just until the nuts are loose! :)
