Removal and installation of the crown race (the race at the base of the steerer tube) is best done with specialized tools and the bearings of your headset may be caged balls or a specific configuration cartridge.
At this point, you would probably be better served by taking the bike to a Cannondale dealer as they will have the exact specs.
