you can put a flat head screwdriver down the headtube and rest the tip on the ridge of the cup and whack it out with a hammer. remember to move the screwdriver around after a few whacks otherwise you may damage the the frame/headset. same goes for the bearing race on the fork, screwdriver and hammer. (this is what i would do, it might not be the correct method so don't blame me if you brake your frame)
i was wondering, why are you taking off the headset? are you getting a respray or is the headset knackered? sometimes a little grease can work wonders or new bearings, that way you don't have to mess around so much.
