I used the thick Park tool headset wrench on the top and the thin on the bottom. I am pretty sure I used the right size wrenches as there is no stripping marks(just paint wear), but I will double check on Monday. It took me longer than usual to readjust this headset so I tightened and loosened it about 5-6 times. I had to even start from zero and take the fork out and put it back on just to make sure there was nothing binding on the bearings. I greased the bearings while I did this. Man, bike companies are REALLY STINGY with the grease. After I did this, it took me one-two tries to get it just right.
