Whats the safest/easiest way of getting a SFN out of a steerer tube?

Punch it through.

Just push it down out of the way. Don't think there's much chance of getting it out.

It's an often overlooked technique, I'll grant you that.

If they're fox forks you won't be able to punch it through as the steerer is tapered inside.

drill out the centre with the fork in a vice worked for me.
if they're second hand forks there's normally at least two more lurking underneath though where people have followed trailmonkeys advice.

just tap it down and add another on top. doesnt exactly weight a ton!
