Demoting Bureaucrats is a lot tougher than demoting Administrators, because they can't be demoted by anyone except Staff, Helpers, and Utilities.

If the Bureaucrats aren't willing to step down from their positions, then you need to start a community discussion as to whether or not the Bureaucrats should be demoted.

If the Bureaucrats try and intervene then contact Staff and they can globally block the Bureaucrats for the time period the discussion expires (usually one or two weeks), so that the discussion can take place without interference.
