Big square bed bolts
What is the best tool to use, or rather what is the tool called to get those bolts off with the squared allen type heads?

Try a cheap 3/8" extension (socket end). You may need to file the sides a little for a snug fit.

Thanks for the actual name of the socket. I have never worked on anything that had one.
