Agreed. Pics would be a big help here as there are many different styles of blind trees. In general though, you must loosen the pinch bolts and slide the tubes down and completely out of the trees. You should then be able to unscrew the lower tree. If yours has setscrews or keying pins securing each (or either) tree to the shaft, then there may be additional steps.

Arghh... I started my previous post and then got called away to the phone! I see that you posted pics in the meantime. I can't tell if you have pinch bolts or not. If not, it looks like you have to remove the bushing bolts on the underside of the lower tree as step #1.
