They're just loctited in, you can press it out and reinstall. FSA make the very same adapter and it comes with a tube of loctite
Edit: there is also an official removal tool which is just two steel tubes. I bought it and removed one on a supersix but then sold on the tool.
My CAAD10 track one needs doing too as it's loose -
I believe they aren't designed to be removed (and I think says that on it) but can be. Uses a semi-permanent Loctite/equivalent.
I'd guess it is pretty rare for the frame-adaptor interface to creak for that reason.

check the track nuts are done up tightly first

Mine creaked like fuck after a couple rides in the rain when I first got it. Replaced the whole thing with a praxis thread-together bb and it'd been fine since.

@jono84
CAAD10 track has developed a bit of a creak under load. Assuming it's coming from the BB area but will swap out headset, seatpost etc to be sure. These use factory installed BB30 to BSA68 converters. If i do think the creak is coming from there is it safe to press it out and re-install with whatever glue the adaptors come with or are these things essentially fused in from factory?
