Underbelly nails

They’re nails so they’re not threaded. There’s a plastic cap or similar on the head that goes away easily.
Essentially I used a power screwdriver with the right size socket on it to twist the head of the mail a bit to loosen it maybe half a turn or so. It really doesn’t need much. I then used vise grips on the head to wrench and pull the mail out. Once the mail is first kinda loose, it only takes a bit of wrist effort on the vise grips to pull it out.
Once you’ve done one or two you’ll find you can yank them out in a few seconds each. It’s a weirdly daunting task until you do it, then it’s almost too easy! I then used machine screws to put the Corolast back, and that was almost more effort.
