If they are the ones i m thinking of when you turn them clockwise they engage with the head of a metal dowel in the other piece they are connecting with.
Take apart ikea bunk bed.
The metal rails will need to be unbolted from the wood in order to take the ladder support off of the bed so keep that in mind.
The bed will come apart in the same way as the lower bunk.
Use a chisel to pry one leg of the headboard away from the extender.
Remove the top bunk and all but one of the top rails.
To undo just turn them a half turn anti clockwise and they will disengage.
You should be able to slide the panels out of their notches once the bed legs are all removed.
Before you separate the headboard and footboard from the extensions remove the side rails in the same manner as above.
Entirely loosen all of the screws holding the side rails and lower bunk onto the 2 side pieces.
If you re on your own then one relatively foolproof way to take apart your ikea furniture is by following the instructions backwards.
Keep all your screws together in a plastic bag and don t lose the bag.

The joint is like a leg and rail except that the support piece is an extension of the leg.
If you re fine with those options here s how i disassemble it.
Position the bed so that one of the short sides is flush against a wall.
Put a piece of wood up against the slat and the bedside and hit it with a hammer.
If you wish to completely dismantle the bed continue removing whatever screws and bolts you can find.
You may have to tap the other part to free it completely.
I wiggle apart the two furniture pieces until it comes out a bit then push them back together and get a good grip with pliers to pull them out.
