£17 wasted if you ask me.......the tried and tested hammer and socket bar works a treat.....i would however spend £20 odd quid on a press to fit them into frames....that is money well spent!   :daumenhoch:

I put cups back in with a home made press, threaded bar from b&q and some flat plates with hole in em. easy peasy.

Me too  :) Cups in the freezer overnight, frame in a warm room - next day pop cups in - little tap with me rubber mallet to start 'em off then home made press - consists of 10mm threaded bar - couple of flat plates with hole - couple of washers and 10mm nuts on the other side - couple of spanners - job done  :daumenhoch:

As for removal - as above some sort of bar angainst the inner rim of the headset and they should tap out easy with a couple of light knocks from your hammer of choice ;)

Jt:
big hammer and socket arm for out

big hammer and bits of wood for in.

the key is a good twatting with the hammer, both ways :daumenhoch:
