I'm not sure about the size of the bottom steering nut. Sorry. I use an adjustable wrench on mine. (12" Crescent wrench) I tighten it with the front wheel off the ground, so that I can feel when the bearings start to bind while I tighten it.

We call those "hook spanners". They are used for tightening bearing locknuts. You would be best to take the nut with you when selecting the tool. The steering stem nut may not match a bearing locknut. I have reground these wrenches when necessary.

I've never required the tool for the locnut on the steering stem. It only requires a little over hand tight as the main nut is what torques the whole stem together. A few light taps with a drift will adjust it to where it needs to be.

+1. If you tighten that locknut too much when you actually torque the main nut down it will be too tight.

Have you sorted your jetting out yet? Because yours sounds horrid. Nothing worse then a modern motorcycle sounding like a 15 year old worn out 2 stroke lawnmower
