I have never removed them but was under the impression that they are 
threaded in (from the wheel side) then swaged on the backside.  The 
swaging must be ground off before they can be double-nutted and removed.

I could very well be wrong -- many LBCs are knurled press fits -- just 
suggesting you get a second opinion before you do some damage.
