Looks like a socket should fit in there either 14mm or 15mm. If you don't have space you might need a Crank wrench or peanut butter wrench.

Hmmm, I know those bolts. So the wrench I linked to isn't going to work. This one will, but doesn't have the pedal wrench (but is overall a slightly nicer tool.
Did you try using a cheater bar slipped on the end of the wrench? Did you try all this with two people--one holding the bike secure and upright, one wrenching on the wrench?
You are wrenching in the right direction, correct?
Sorry its giving you so much trouble.
As a side note, I was taught to never grease the BB shafts. This is because the spindle is hardened steel and the crank arms are (99.9 percent of the time) aluminum, and the grease combined with the torque of the bolt will actually allow you to bring the crank arm too high on the ramped spindle, leading to just this issue--as well as disfiguring the crank arm (all this assumes you have square tapered crank arms and bb).
Park Tool makes a specific fixed wrench just for this application, the CCW-5. Not that it's necessary for it to be bike specific or anything. Only $12 on amazon
Agreed. This tool will definitely come in handy.

Many bicycle tool manufacturers have it in their set.
