Hard time removing bed bolts

[red69ss]

I center punched them , then step drilled them till the heads came off from the top. deffinently the easiest way I've found to remove them , its probaly easier if you don't try to loosen them first, but still may be effective.

you can also try grinding a slot in them, and hold with a screwdriver. but if they are really rusty i would drill like mentioned above.

This quote right here is the ticket. I tried this after other methods and found this to be the best.
