I turned a mandrel in a bit of ally bar that was a few thou smaller
than the i/d of the head tube and pushed on the very outer lip of the
cup. A few taps with a hyde mallet, sorted. (I also froze the cup(s)
first as mentioned elsewhere).

But it was only the little CB Two Fifty and very much like bicycle
parts. ;-)

All the best ..
