maybe wrong title for this but I have a problem...
Before I had old bicycle and it was easy to change fork since there was old system (screw adn pull) to do this...
Now I have new bike and I see new system and I don't know how to get out my stock fork...
I don't know what this mean but I have some Aheadset from Cane Ckreek
I did read the manual from Cane and I didn't get any idea on how...
so any help here?

2. Finished.

Short, sweet and to the (correct) point. If you want to fully remove the fork, you will also have to detach the front brake from the fork. Also very easy to do.

You guys better let the OP know how to properly re-install the fork (锕侊箒)~~~~----------------------------------------------------------------------
dosen't fall out... should I use some kind of tool that could pull out? if yes then what tool?
(锕侊箒)~~~~----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is your brake cable unhooked? Has this bike been crashed or damaged? Have you taken the stem OFF? Do you have a clamp-on cable guide on your steer tube? Have you tried giving it a good yank?
(锕侊箒)~~~~----------------------------------------------------------------------
most importantly, have you looked at parktool.com?

everything is off and no clamp-ons
and yes I looked parktool before you said but don't know the correct tool for this...

If the cap AND stem have been removed, the only thing holding the fork to the frame is friction between the steering post and the wipers on the headset bearings. Push harder!

the only tool ytou should need for a threadless headset is a 5mm allen key

I will try oil and hammer

There might be a spacer with a wedge shaped section profile that keeps the fork from falling out. Usually a plastic mallet will unseat the fork. I had one case where we sprayed the fork with a CO2 inflator to cool and shrink the metal and immediately tapped it with a mallet - worked.
Incidentally, if it's an Aheadset then it can't be Cane Creek. Those are competing brand names.

Use a rubber mallet- no hammer!

Several headset brands have a split spacer that fits right above the top bearing race. It can wedge against the fork steerer holding it in place. If the rubber mallet doesn't do it, try to spread this spacer or pry it up.--Rob--

Agreed. Without pictures, it's hard to diagnose the problem. We shouldn't just assume things. If I just remove the topcap and stem on my MTB, my fork does not just fall out.
