Is there any secret to get them off the ball? The best thing I've found is a screwdriver or a small wrench under the cup then pry up. That really tears up the cup and sometimes scars the ball, there has to be a secret or a tool or something....

Modify a fork with your dremel , basically like a pickle fork. I think a large turkey serving fork would do well just replace before Sue gets home  :lol:

I have actually seen a removal tool before, it's similar to a gear puller but works like a reverse scissors action. I'd bent, mangled, snapped, and chipped more than a few removing them using a screwdriver, so I'd buy one if I ever saw it again.
