I saw this part (cheap and well reviewed), it's 1 1/8 " ... although it says BMX / MTB ... I assume it will work on a Canondale Hybrid City Bike ??

Depends on your steerer diameter.
Headset replacement, as stated earlier, takes some specialized tools. It takes one special tool for the removal and another for the installation. I'm not sure if you can rig something up for the removal, but I've read online about people successfully using a threaded rod, washers, and nuts to create a cheap headset press to install the headset. I'm planning on doing this for my current build.
