Advice for first time servicing a headset

Hello Smart folks out there! I have a 2014 Scott CR1 road bike, and for the first time I feel a sort of "clunk" when I stop hard. Even though I can't find any play in the headset, I'm wondering if I have a bad bearing. I've never tried to service the bearings on a headset before (though I'm comfortable enough taking my bike apart). I looked at the original spec, and the bike has a Ritchey integrated headset with cartridge bearings. How do I know what size/spec I need for replacement, and are any unique tools required to replace the bearings? TIA!
