...unless you plan on replacing it with something else (like a new complete BB unit), you're well advised to clean it well while leaving it in place. If you simply must remove it for purposes of replacement, the Hozan fixed cup removal tool is about as bombproof as you can get in this department, but it's not cheap.
You can get pretty good results in most cases by through bolting some fender washers (big ones) on both sides of the BB so that the ones on the fixed cup side hold one of those Campy type fixed cup wrenches on the flats, with just a teeny bit of play. This holds the wrench onto the cup so it won't jump off when you hit it with a mallet or a dead blow hammer....the poor person's version of an impact wrench. Use penetrant on both sides of the BB shell/cup interface.
There's a photo of the setup somewhere in the tips and tricks thread, which you might get lucky and fine with Google.
