Ladder Problems??

Been having ladder sticking problems for a couple years now. Been doing what I can with a filer to grind the slide rail which helps for about a month or so each time. However, the location and angle makes it difficult to grind.

My Question: If I unbolt the brackets (bolted to the hull) are these self tapped bolts or is there a nut on the other side that I need to worry about?

Thanks in advance for any help!
Thanks for the filing tip. That did the trick. I've been looking for a solution for a few years now. Wish I saw this earlier.
 
The bolts on mine seem bent and it angles under the boat a bit, which is awkward. I am curious if any of the ones they currently list could work. I’ll have to look into it deeper sometime.
