If you have access to a wood vice with a block of hard wood at either end to protect the cups, use that to get even pressure on the cup's
Or get a piece of threaded bar with two flat pieces of metal( one either side of each cup) then tighten up the nut's evenly..........hope this is of help to ya

Has the frame been repainted/powdered or rechromed? It's not a mini frame is it? Some had smaller dia tubes, like roadbikes.

i've always found they need hitting just a little harder than you think it needs!
lump of wood under other end of head tube, square up the cup, thin plank of wood on top and a good sharp whack should sort it.

You could try shrinking the cup by placing it in the freezer for a few hours, once fitted it will expand again to it original size.

It is a weird design. I put one on my haro pro series, nothing wrong with them but if one hadn't already been on a robinson i bought the year previous i wouldn't have had a clue how to fit it tbh.
I just remember thinking ......That doesn't quite work out how you think it should.
It was tight as a nats chuff getting it out of the robbo and by the time i got the haro i had a vice then. ( it's all easy then)
