I've done this before but its been quite a while (approx 5 years )so just wanted to check that I'm going to be doing it right - its a Lefty DLR for reference.

Bike mounted on stand
remove wheel
remove brake caliper
Remove stem
Hold onto fork and tap steerer with rubber hammer to remove the lefty
Tap out bearings
Fit new bearings

That's pretty much it isn't it?
