Headset cups, how the fook do I remove em?

Filthy frame ready to go to the powdercoaters but I cant remove the bearing cups for the headset.  Any other tips than get a bigger hammer?   :daumenhoch:

Use a punch or flat headed screw-driver and hammer. Tap each one out from the inside of the headtube by tapping once and then moving directly opposite and tap again - they'll eventually pop out. Or use dynamite.
