Removing aheadset crown race

I am about to take my frame in to get it powder coated, and I am in the process of taking it apart. I'm struggling with removing the headset, but I know I can buy a tool to do that. However, I am not sure how to remove the crown race from the fork. I was just going to hit it with a hammer and screwdriver, but figured I should ask before I do that... I don't want to damage the fork.

So.. how do I remove the crown race from the fork?

To remove headset bearing cups, get a suitable length of tube, not too large in diameter and work round the cup from the inside hitting it opposites with a hammer until the cups drop out.

As for the crownrace, as mentioned a screwdriver should suffice if you have no suitable punch to hand. If its a carbon fork with no place to get under the race (which really fucks me off, why do manufacturers do that!!) Then at worst remove a stanley blade from a knife and gently knock that between the race and fork seat until you have enough room to get a larger object between the two.
