hub grease cup removal

["R. Cobb" <rcobb@earthlink.net>]

I'm trying to remove the left front hub/disc assembly on my BJ8, Phase 
2.  The stud on the grease cup is bent at an angle (with respect to the 
interior of the hub cylinder) and the cup itself has been battered and 
torn badly and is no longer a continuous circular housing.

Any thoughts on removal techniques without doing damage to surrounding 
parts?

Thanks.
