Looks like you are using 15mm copper pipe and not the much much stronger 22 or 28mm ?? (much stronger wall thickness)
I posted this method up a while ago, it works fine for me.
"let the expanding side rest against the lip of the cup, and then hammer it out" - once into position you should gently tap the cup out, take your time, no big hard blows.
