Never beat them out, get a 1 1/16 in. socket and an 11/16 socket. Take the 1 1/16th socket and place it on the side of the cup that is being pushed out, then place the 11/16the socket on the pushing side and place this in a vice and squeeze away. I had to use a cheater pipe but mine came out pretty easy once it broke loose. Reverse this procedure for installing new ones, oh and make sure to index the u-joint where the grease zerk can be accessed.
