Default Stabilizer link quick disconnect problem.

Recently purchased stabilizer link quick disconnects made by rubicon express. Upon installation, removing the old t55 bolts from the bottom of where the old stab links would sit is hindering my progress. I'm not sure if they are pressed or threaded, nor do I know how to remove them. Any help is obliged.

They are pressed in like Cherospeed99 said, here is a vid on how you go about it.

I got mine out with one of these:

It's a tie rod end puller and it worked like a charm. The little "claw" end wrap around the bracket, and then the screw side pressed on the end of the bolt and it popped out. I did have to cut the bolt a bit shorter with an angle grinder to make it fit, but it took about 2 mins on each side.
