    Removing bolts from concrete floor
    Hi, I have a Sico murphy bed that is bolted into the concrete floor of my condo. It has a hydraulic jack system. I don't like the wall that it is on and want to move it. How do I unscrew the bolts that are holding it down? Then once I get them out what equipment do I use to reinstall the bolts into the floor?
    Any info would be great! Thanks

    Nikolina , first thing is find out whad size the bolts are , then use a box end ,open end,or asocket and ratchet, turn the bolts counter clockwise to screw them out. You will have to get your bolt layout moved over to new location. Use a1/2" hammer dril (set on hammer) drill your holes stright down oh use a concrete drill bit the right size for the bolts and ancores set bed in place screw bolts in .:: Take one of your bolts with you ,go to Lowe's, lumber yard , Home Depot, And show the clerk what you have and what you are doing and you need (concrete bit, Ancor{ Plastic Metal, Lead.} for that size bolt . If you don't have a drill or someone you know, go to a rental place that rents tools.:::: Good Luck ,Let me know How you come out,

    Cut off old bolts with metal blade and sawzall ,get new bolts,drill new holes larger than new bolts with hammer drill and concrete/masonry bit then use two part epoxy toset new bolts

    Funny question I know but do you own this condo? Many associations will not allow you to drill into THEIR floor. Condo bylaws are a bit fussy to read but you only own from the surface of the drywall in.
