Raceseng rear tophat bolts

Dear internet brain trust:

Does anybody know if the Raceseng rear top hat bolts are threaded or pressed it? One of mine got an accidental dose of too much hurry.

iirc if you flip it over and see a hex key you can unthread it, might be worth filing down the bolt a little so you don't damage the threads in the top hat when taking it apart.

I tried that. I didn't want to put TOO much torque on it and -- as mentioned --make things worse. Are we sure it's threaded?

They look threaded to me.

It is an M10-1.5, so I had machine screws already that were an exact match. Disaster averted.

Update: Got a message back from Raceseng too. The bolts had threadlocker, which I didn't see when I took them off, but explains the required disassembly torque.
