Bed Strips

Started removing bed strip bolts today on my 50 AD, a 13mm socket seems to work ok on the square nuts. I was wondering what others in the forum had used to remove all these bolts and nuts? Thanks to all!

Re: Bed Strips

I got mine out by tightening them until they broke.

Re: Bed Strips

I spray stubbon bolts and nuts with W40. It usually works.

Re: Bed Strips

Some snapped when we tried loosening them. The rest were cut with a cut off wheel.
