oh, you’re right, the Park Tool spanner is junk!
Good on ya for tackling the job, won't always go well and that's when some practice will really help. The fixed cup should be good and tight when you put it back together.
Again, knowing how it goes when it goes well will really help when it doesn't. The lockring spanner always takes some finesse but some work much better than others, I swear by the Sugino, the hook end and the fixed cup end both work very well for me and I would encourage you to find one that works good for you.
