Tony 1-4:
I have just stripped my Haro Group 1 RS2 down for sale and need to remove the cups for bottom bracket and headset. Is there a simple way of doing it without damaging anything. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

mr.magoo:
everyones gonna tell you not to do this, but this is how i do it, as long as you are fairly gentle :LolLolLolLol:

the right way would be to get a piece of hard wood, and gently tap around in circles until it starts moving.

me...i get a socket set wrench, put the handle end in and do it with that, aint damabged a cup or a bike in 26 years doing it that way

but just dont hit too hard :LolLolLolLol: :idiot2:

moley:
Use a hammer and long socket extension bar from a socket set!!

The socket extension is square but rounded at the ends so it doesn't dig into the cups.

Same advice as Mr Magoo!!   He beat me to it!!

subversion:
Also, if you use this method then hold the socket extension with your fingers inside from the cup you are knocking out to keep it steady & in place. Work your way around the cup, tapping it out evenly to avoid flairing the frame :daumenhoch:

mr.magoo:
and i thought my primitive no patience method would get a right slating :uglystupid2:
