    You have bigger issues than that mate - some lowlife has stolen the engine.

    Lift the frame, hit the fork with a rubber mallet and the fork will fall out.

    ^^^ what he said. few taps should do it

    see the little collet in there? thats what is holding it together. What you have there is a standard 1 and 1/8th inch "Threadless" headset.

    LOL: nice try. the stem is off the bike. the star nut* is the thing that tensions up the bearings but the stem is what holds it together.

    Yes, but put a piece o wood on the top before you hit it - so it doesn't distort the metal - or you will have even more issues ..
