they are pressed in, the bottoms are worse. do you have a press?
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

You can use a vice for the top ones but it needs to be of decent size, use a large socket or similar.
If the vice is to small (kmart special) you'll probably chew out the thread
