How do I drop the stem (I want to remove some spacers)

do I need a special tool to remove the part under the headtube?

You can use a regular Shimano Hollowtech tool for that. Unscrew the steerer tube, and then take off the stem.

Cannondale makes a tool for removing the stem (Ernie), but I find it difficult to properly inser the stem as well. Last year I bought Eighty-Aids tool for removing/mounting stems (POPI tool: http://eighty-aid.com/en/content/opi-st ... al-install).
