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.
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

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