Love them DIY/cowboy approach :) Still do it with cheaper headsets but still the LBS for a better set. I remember looking at the Ultra thin DA fork crown race, wasnt gonna risk it with a mallet and screwdriver/wedge.
Races, especially on old bikes, are not too hard to get off... use an old axle/screwdriver/anything with an edge and just wack it off! A bit cowboy but wont do any damage if you are careful...
