get the fookin lump hammer out and smash em  :knuppel2:

x2 or just hold it up in a vice and squeeze 'em in, the monkey metal bearing cup will give before the cro-moly frame, unless its trash.

If the frame had been powder coated that'll be the issue as thats pretty thick compared to wet paint and the cups wouldn't fit ?

Any chance of borrowing the press guys?  Don't know who has it currently but happy to pay postage costs as my hammer is scared.
