removing integrated headset race from fork

I've got an aluminum fork that came on a K2 cross bike, which has an
integrated headset.

The diameter of the bottom race (the one that sits on the fork crown)
is much smaller than that of the fork crown itself. And I can't even
stick a razor blade underneat it.

Any ideas as to how I could get it off? I'm not so sure it's even
supposed to come off at all.

Find the snap-ring type of race for integrated headsets for your new fork.
Easy, clean, and works well.

I want to use the fork on a non-integrated frame, so I need to get the
race off.

Seems to me that some of the tricks for removing stuck seatposts from
frames, and pedals from cranks, could work for you. Try those mentioned
at http://www.sheldonbrown.com/stuck-seatposts.html
