Forgotten how mid-sleeper comes apart

Hello again...

Im changing the kids room around, got halfway through taking apart a mid sleeper but can't figure out how the slats come out of the sides. Its this bed:

So, Ive undone all the screws, but the slats are still somehow attached to the sides. A couple of the slats are joined by a crosswise tube of metal. And some of the others have a hole at the end, and I can see thin metal rods inside [can be seen in one of the pics in the link]. I vaguely remember putting it together was a bit awkward but cant remember what these rod things inside the poles are for. They must be some kind of tension thing, but I dont know. The bed is too big to drag downstairs as it is, so I need to get it apart completely, and ideally without breaking it.
Any thoughts?

Thanks. Its not that sort - that sort makes complete sense!
I figured it out in the end and it was an absoloute sh** to get apart.
