Hi Richard.

It was nessesary to take the bed off. In fact it went down to pieces. Laying it on its side was just something I found made it easier for me while I either drilled or ground the heads off each and every bolt. The nuts had crispy 34 YO undercoating on them and they recess up into the cross sills. I did not see much alternative.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
