Undo the allen bolt til it's loose (don't overdo this or you'll lose the bottom of the stem in the head tube). Then as Alkali says, a tap on the bolt will push it down and release. Be sure to re-grease before re-assembling as all that WD40 will have dried it all out.
Oh and consider the merits of mechanics at 2am on a Sunday morning.
This is the first and almost certainly the last time that this particular dunce will pass on any mechanical advice on this forum.
