How to remove an old cup-and-cone BB?

I just got a used bike with a cup-and-cone BB. It's been sitting in a shed for a few years, so I figure it needs to be repacked in grease. I got the fixed cup off easily with a 36 mm cone wrench, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the left cup. Anybody know of an inexpensive trick to getting that sucker off, and then back on?
