Without a specific tool i just use a hammer and a piece of broomhandle or something similar from the other side. Rotate the taps around the cup to keep it square

Have you got a socket set ?
if so put the extension piece through the BB shell against the inside of the cup and tap it out with a mallet .
or , like oldschoolace says , bit of dowel or something blunt will do just as well
smear them with a bit of grease when you`re ready to put them back

Don't fanny about.
They need 'shocking' out so use a reasonably heavy metal hammer and blunt metal rod (socket set extension is a good idea), this will get them out.
Rubber mallet and wood won't touch it.

I've got a big flat head screwdriver with a knackered end, but a nice hard plastic handle, i use the handle against the cups so not to damage them and hit the flathead end, never failed for me yet

Try sticking the frame indoors to warm it up then go to town. If its cold the bottom bracket may be a tight fit.
