@BrickMan
have you got just one cup stuck or both?
If you have shredded both, then probably time to get creative with a dremel/drill/chisel/ blowtorch.
Old BB's are the suck.I remember working in a shop and a sweet Cannondale black lightening came in with a mashed BB, in order to save the wicked paint we stuck to chemicals and brute force, 3 guys and a huge bench vice. 1 guy to just bold the frame down into the BB tool/vice, the other two bracing off walls tweaking it....
result = BB stayed attached to BB shell, rest of the frame rotated around the shell = twisted mess of expensive tubes.
