hello alexm, you have my first name and the first letter of my surname, but i don't hold it against you.
What you have there is the crown race. Why do you want to remove this? It is an essential part of the headset assembly. Don't remove it unless you're replacing the headset, and therefore swapping out the crown race.
To remove it, simply invert the forks, get a hammer and a big screwdriver, and bang till it comes off.
Um, bang gently, that is, more like tap.
