The best way is to use the official Campagnolo fixed cup remover -- not the cheap stamped combination fixed cup/pedal wrench, but the industrial tool that comes with the Campy tool case. The tool case includes the official Campagnolo cheater pipe to increase leverage when needed and the tool itself has handy flats milled on the outer surface so you can clamp it in a bench vice and really haul down on it.
Accept no substitutes, except maybe the VAR version. :-)
