I'm installing a new BB for a Shaun White Session 1.7 and the cups are giving me a very very difficult time coming off. I've hammering them using a screwdriver and a mallet to get them to budge from the opposite side of each cup and nil results. I did much research on the net and most of them cover another type of BB. Many thanks in advance.

Try harder

Don't use a screw driver. Use a socket extension and a metal hammer. You can spray a load of wd40 or something on it first which might help. But a good hard tap should pop em out

UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED

Used a Dremel and a simple ceramic cutting disc and created a slot through each cup then used a mallet + screwdriver to finish the opening. Cups practically fell out. Thanks everyone.
