Removing the fixed cup is always the hardest bit, you might want to apply gentle heat to the face of the cup (small chefs blowtorches are superb) this will certainly aid removal. These older cups can be a nightmare but the cheapest method is to buy one of those old bike multi spanners that you see at car boots/ebay all the time. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BICYCLE-BIKE-VINTAGE-COLLECTORS-SPANNER-OLD-TOOLS_W0QQitemZ220414896621QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR?hash=item3351c069ed&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A3%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A100
The widest bit fits the cups perfectly.
