A quick diagnostic fix would be to move a thin spacer from below the stem to above, adjust the headset by the steps outlined above and see if the adjustment holds after a couple of rides.
Or just be like the majority of bike riders and take it to your LBS
Or better yet, take it to the LBS, watch what THEY do, and now you'll know how to do it. BUT make sureyou underestand how it all works AND use a torque wrench!
