Replacing Audible Illusion Preamp Feet


Own an Audible Illusions Preamp that will soon be going onto a maple-shelved rack and want to replace the stock feet with brass audio points that I have laying around in my accessory box. Can I unscrew the stock feet without loosening and releasing something internal to the unit such as a lock nut that can't be retrieved and will forever roll around inside and bug the heck out me?

Related question - is it better to replace each foot with a threaded footer or can I simply rest the components on unthreaded audio points or black diamond racing cones? If using threaded cones, I'll have to buy a fourth since I only have sets of 3.
