Need some help on taking bed down
In law put it up with lots of swearing few years back

Now we are moving tomorrow and I'm stuck with this bolt
Tried getting spanners in
Keep getting stuck between wood
Advice would be great
And no I'm not aloud a new bed tried that all ready!!!

Cheers

God what an awful design. Presumably the other end's blind?
Small (tiny) mole-grips might just do it.

Whoever initially put the bed together is a retard. The fasteners have been installed arse-about-face. I don't know how he managed to get them in that way around and I can appreciate the difficulties that you are experiencing in trying to remove them. I'm willing to wager that the bed was never stable and tended to 'rock' with or without any action going on.
An open ended 10mm, or more likely 1/8'' or 3/16'' Whitworth*, spanner will be required to separate the bedframe parts.
When you re-assemble the bedframe, install those visible fastenings the opposite way around to the way that they are currently installed.

* Most cheap-shit bedframes are manufactured in and imported from third world countries and contain Imperial sized fastenings.

Can I just ask why you are not allowed a new bed?

Doh!

This made me smile on a Monday morning and left me wondering how you manage to convince yourself they go in that way round when it is blindingly obvious the should be like this...
