The Park 16mm will not work - especially with Zeus Cronos. The edge will jam between the threads and the bolt points and cause some damage.
I know because I bought the wrench in question - packaged from the mid- eighties. You'll see a few in shops that ended up cracking at the points.
What I use is a Craftsmen 16mm socket that has been stuck on a crude homemade lathe and a file run against it from the middle to the socket edge in a graduated angle grind.
Crude but works. Use a quality socket such as Craftsmen so that even with only
1mm of material on the socket edge - it'll hold up without cracking.
I use about 18 lbs torgue when reinstalling the crank. Some here might recommened 2-4 lbs more. Ask around.
