John, I presume you mean the drive side cup? I have yet to fail in any cup removal attempt when using one simple tool ... a 5-6 foot long piece of schedule 40 PVC tubing as a monster cheater bar. It's lighter than steel and easier to heft into place, yet it gives great control with light effort, especially if you can get a helper to hold the tool firmly on the cup flats, while the other person inserts it over the tool and gently applies careful, even pressure. Just be sure to get a tubing large enough for the other end of the tool to fit into, and it's POP! ... loose cup ... every time!

Hey Vintage Bike Enthusiasts,
Please let me know how you removed the stubborn S side bottom bracket cup because I have a stubborn cup on a 48 Bartali (on topic) on the D side that was painted over because the previous owner could not remove it. Anybody have any idea what might have been stock for the Cambio Corsa frameset?
Thanks everybody,
