That's right, the fixed cup was easy to remove w/ a cone wrench, but I can't figure out any improvised way to get a good hold on the lockring of the other cup. I don't have a lockring wrench (it's one of those hook shaped things right?), and the LBS doesn't sell them... so I was wondering if there's some way to grab the notches in the lockring without it.

(Perhaps I should suck it up and have them do it for me, but I've had a personal policy of doing all work myself for the past year )
