So I managed to loosen this bolt - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/548054 but some of the legs of the bed frame are missing these things - https://imgur.com/a/4yNhX5j so I can't tighten the bolt properly to fix my bed frame. Basically without this thing the bolt starts spinning with the nut and the legs are still loose. I asked bunnings but the guy didn't know what it was so I was wondering if ozbargain might know? The legs are starting to bend every time I put any weight on it and I don't want to go through the effort of buying a new bed frame and disposing the old one just because I'm missing a few pieces ;/
What Tool Do I Need to Tighten This Bolt?

Thanks!
Hmm, looks like a 8/19ths moon nut spacer to me.
it is just a piece of metal that is round on one side to go against the round hole in the wood and flat on the other side to give the nut something flat to tighten up against properly, just putting some washers on it would probably work but they would start to dig into the wood
just seen Hybroid's comment, problem solved
or go cheap and just get a washer …
but if it's spinning, push from the other end until it bites
