    Hi,

    I'm looking for some help to remove an allen key screw connecting the headboard to the side panel of the bed frame. When I turn the screw it doesn't seem to come away from the bolt on the back side and both keep turning. Hope that makes sense! Attaching photos.

    Any help much appreciated as it isn't budging!

    Hold the nut with a spanner while turning the allen key.

    If You dont have a spanner then try wedging a flat-blade screwdriver under and towards the back of the nut, then turn the Allen key.
