Top tip, Take off the front sprocket nut before you start at the rear.

another tip - dont break the chain until after you've dont the  front/rear sprocket nuts.
 
also, boltcroppers will cut a chain off in hald a second

good tip, but if you were silly enough to have cut the chain first and now your looking to see how you undo spinning things.... put the bike in first gear and try to either shock the sprocket nut undone... if you cant do this then wedging a screwdriver in the front sprocket teeth (with the bike in gear) may help you undo the nut..... and for the rear wheel wedge a peice of wood through the back wheel and against the swingarm to prevent the wheel from turning whilst you undo the sprocket bolts....(you'll only make this mistake once)
