I've just removed a fixed cup using the Sheldon Brown method.
It had been in place for about 71 years.
Soaked it in penetrtaing oil for 4 days and then used 4 foot of scaffolding pole as a cheater bar.

Got the scaffolding pole from a builder working on the house next door, asked and got it for free.
Do yourself a favour and get one
