i use a long punch   put it in the top of the headstock and down to the edge of the bottom cup
then with a hammer knock it out go around the edge 12 oclock  3 6 and 9 oclock tapping in different places.
then turn the frame over and knock that out the same.

Seriously thinking of buying one... Do they remove cups as well as install them?
