But yes, I always use the largest flattest item I can pressed against the bearing and then as Neil said, tap around gently like a clock face. You only want the bearing to move less than a millimetre at a time and it will eventually free and slide out.
When gently beating Rob I (and most others would agree i'm sure) use the same pricipal, ie use the largest flattest object. I mostly use Ed209 and hit Rob using him but i'm sure others have better tools for the job........ :shocked:

Thanks for your reply Rob! :daumenhoch:
Do you still require some gentle beating?

;D :2funny: Holy crap! :LolLolLolLol: Obviously I said unambiguously something ambiguous without knowing. Sorry Rob that wasn't intentional! :angel:
..at least I have an idea now why Rob didn't reply again. ::)

Andy, it was just the usual British humour mate, I edited the text in your quote :2funny:
As it happens, we always give Rob a cuddle when we see him really mate, don't worry. I think it was the lack of understanding the Yanks had of our humour that started RadBMX in the first place so you're in good company here :daumenhoch:
pickle:
don't worry Andy, it's all good mate :daumenhoch:

I'm always up for good banter! :daumenhoch:
I've noticed that you took it as a fit occasion (<<< is the right term I think) and turned it into something else. Actually I had troubles seeing my monitor 'cause I was cracking up like fook. ;D
However, I've sent Rob a message with my apologies just in case my initial question means something that I (or my dictionaries) don't know about. (...I bet now you're cracking up :) )

This is what I use, its a steel bar with a nylon insert at the end. Its hard to tell from the pic, but the insert is angled at the end.
The bar has to go in at an angle due to the other cup being in the way.
The angled end means that when it touches the cup it sits flat against it, therefore spreading the force, reducing deformation of the cup.
Once removed the other cup can be knocked out with a flat ended implement
