The tails - are you saying twist the copper pipes?

The two copper pipes (hot and cold tails) are connected to another pipe below the image.
Remove that connection and they should twist off anti clockwise. They shouldn't be too tight.
If you are trying to remove the nut at the top of the tails it won't move as integrated into the pipe

You remove the tap then they are easily accessible .
I suspect that might be from the factory manufacture.
As above they should just twist out. AFAIK they have o-rings meaning that they shouldn't be overtightened.
As has been suggested way easier to take tap out and sort .
Cut tails bend slightly to get at back nut then remove the lot.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to remove them?
Probably to replace with flexi hoses!
How did you expect to do it if the pipes were connected at the bottom ends?
