Is this bath faucet sleeve pressed on or threaded?

I went to replace the the hot and cold stems and ran into this setup. Can't tell if the covering pipe is threaded or pushed on. Does not look soldered.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

All of the ones I've encountered over the years have slid on. You might have to loosen it up with some penetrating spray. If you have a correct deep socket, you can probably remove the valve stem without removing the chrome collar. Then, just replacing a washer should do the trick.
