The stem has to come off first. loosen the bolt at the top of the stem. Pull out the stem. If the stem will not move, back out the bolt about a 1/4"- 1/2" and wack it with a block of wood or something. This will free up the wedge nut and the stem should come out.

Next loosen the top nut on the steerer tube, use a large adjustable wrench as channel locks will scrape up the nut. Remove the nut.
Then remove the adjuster nut below it. The fork should drop out. In a pinch, should be able to use a large flat head screwdriver and hammer to knock out the headset cups.

Or, if the frame is junk, he could just hack saw off the headtube and ship the whole thing :wink:

Hope this helps
