I was wondering if these are pressed in, or if the serrated edge around the bottom of the mounting indicated some kind of two-part component with a special tool to screw the two halves together.

In the end I am most interested in functionality as long as I don't have to permanently alter anything. Thanks for the suggestion. Rob
