How do I remove the headset cups from the frame? Is there a special tool for this?

Thanks

Yes, there is a special tool. However, you can make them yourself:

The tool isn't that expensive, though:

Some people tap it out gently with a screwdriver. I don't like the idea of that, seems like there'd be too much risk of damaging/deforming the headtube, but to each their own...
