Yeah! slacken off the nuts to release ..... :shock:

Look from underneath the planks and you should see 10mm nuts heads you need to slacken.

The nuts are underneath the bottom edge. Loosen them and the side planks just lift upwards off the top supports.

Was going to add...the plastic straps are riveted to your panels so they don't move.

...and the nuts are probably rusted to the bolts so they don't move...
