...he used to have a deal where if you bought both the cotter pin press and the fixed cup tool, there was a discounted price for the combination. It does work pretty well, but it's still pretty difficult to extract some of those fixed cups on old Brit bikes, especially Raleigh's. I would advise cleaning and inspection in place. To remove one of those unless you need to replace it is work, and better spent on other things.
