"Years ago I bought a Campagnolo fixed cup removal tool, and although it is mainly meant for Campagnolo, I've used it on many other fixed cups that are similar enough to Campagnolos, including many Brittish fixed cups. It cost me about $150 on Ebay at the time, but it's an invaluable tool to add to a shop."
I just listed two universal fixed cup tools on ebay (7222077937 and 7222076939) with a starting bid of $14.99. Complete instructions are included with each tool but the correct usage is fairly obvious.
Unlike the Campagnolo, VAR, and others, these are friction grip tools that will remove virtually any fixed cup.
I've used one of these tools to successfully remove hundreds of fixed cups for dealers, frame repairs, and frame refinishing.
