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

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

Re: side planks
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...
