They are spot welded to the bed, but unless they are in bad shape I would leave them. I tried to get the ones off my bedsides and it seemed impossible to do without jacking up the entire bedside. When you order new bedsides they come with the angle strips in place. Good luck and if you come up with a trick let me know.
