Sounds a bit odd but would help if you posted some photos.

the bearing cups themselves are threaded to aid removal with the special tool. You are not confusing this with a tube are you?

I think I got mine from C&D. It was a while back though.

1.5 inch diameter and 24 TPI. You screw it in and belt it with a drift through the steering head.
