p.s Get an adult to help you with the sharp blade and wear eye protection. The blades have a habit of shattering if you hit them to hard.
leave it where it is between the jaws of your workbench (but preferably a vice) and hit the top of the fork with a hide mallet (of failing that, with a hammer placing a bit of wood on the top of the forks so as not to damage it). Don't forget to prevent damage to the fork as it drops with something soft

Don't forget to prevent damage to the fork as it drops with something soft Cheers Moose, I did consider that but then on closer inspection I realised that the race is sat on a flange on the forks. Tee hee, I said flange...Lucky I realised before I went mental on it!
The race sits proud of the flange

I will never doubt your knowledge!Top tip to others in this predicament... 1) My pic above pointing out race and forks os wrong, it's all race. 2) put something soft on the floor for your forks to land on..... d'oh!EDIT: And then I read that Moose advised the soft landing too. Ah never mind, didn't hurt em, them just clanged a lot!
