Removing a stubborn fixed cup...MiamiJim's technique:

This is the poor mans version of the Stein tool. For those of you not familiar with it, the Stein tool holds a fix cup tool in place. It has 2 unique features, first is its abilty to anchor onto both nutted and bolt style spindles and its second feature is a threaded collar to compensate for different axle lengths.

Step 1: Picture 1. Loosen the adjustable cup a touch
Step 2: Picture 2. Place dedicated fixed cup tool onto fixed cup
Step 3: Picture 3. Place large washer over spindle. Washer must be a large enough diameter to cover the fixed cup. I use a 2" diameter washer.
Step 4: Picture 4. Stack smaller washers on top of larger washer. Use enough washers to cover the end of the square taper. I use 1 3/4" washers.
Step 5: Picture 5. Secure washers in place with either the spindle nut or bolt
Step 6: Picture 6. Apply torque. For this cup I used a size 10 1/2.
