These are press-fit cups guys, like a headset, you need to knock it
out of the hub from the other side, or build a special expansion -
extractor. I've never done it but maybe someone in our audience has ??

(Ned Mantei) Presumably Jobst Brandt has: He has mentioned
in this newsgroup that he
has 200,000 miles or more on his 1970's Campy hubs.

I'm sorry I missed the OP. Replacing bicycle hub cups is
not at all difficult although the economies involved have
made it much less common.

"cut the cups out of the hubs" What does that mean?
"maybe someone . . . has?" has what, wrecked a hub or
replaced a cup?

It's a good habit to turn the axle in one's fingers when a
wheel is out for whatever reason, rebuilding when grit or
roughness is first detected.

Most good bicycle shops have an extractor for the cups and can remove
them esily. I have such a puller and have replaced cups that got
damaged.
