1 you need all the bits.
2 depends on what your removing, it could either be a bearing cup (attached to the frame) or a crown race (attached to the fork). ill keep inmind that you don't want to buy new tools
bearing cup: first remove the front break, fork, and barrings (you have probably already done this). if you want to keep you cup, insert a cup removing tool in to the head tube until you cannot see the bottom (where it fans out) any more then give the top a tap with your hammer, or if you dont care too much about your cups place a screwdriver against the cup at an angel and give it a tap with a hammer.
crown race: place the forks in a vice, with the crown race just above the vice clamps, and the fork ends pointed towards the ground, then place a peice of wood on top of the steering tube, and give the wood a whack with a hammer. or come at the crown race with a hammer and screwdriver, with the steering tube on the ground hit down away from the fork blades.
