Hi Phil,


I'm guessing that they neglected to press for the countersunk bolts. You could probably do it. Back up around the underside of the bed with a plate or piece of hard wood having a hole slightly larger than the countersunk bolt head diameter. A combination of drawing the bolt tight and hitting it with a hammer may be sufficient. There are tools to do this too. A lot depends on how hard the bed sheet metal is.



Does one of the bed slats cover the head? You could also just use a hex head bolt and provide a pocket on the back side of the slat to accept the head.
