Almost certainly the 17mm axle as it is on an "N" plate.
Assuming they are like Showas, don't forget the small Allen screw which locks them on!

Once they're out it's just a matter of overcoming the locking compound and corrosion on the threads" a combination of applied heat, a well bolted down vice with soft jaws and lots of sacking, a couple of mates to sit on it, and a large pair of stilsons with scaffold tube handle extension does the trick.
