After removing the top and bottom bearings, the top one fell apart. So my question is, does anyone have the Schwinn code # for the bearing set. I believe one of them is a Schwinn 2557. The other, is a Wald, I believe, but not a Schwinn. Any information is greatly appreciated. The frame I'm working on is a 62 Schwinn Typhoon, 20" Thanks

They had two different Schwinn head set types that I know of. I don't know what's "correct" for your '62, but here's a pic of the Schwinn-specific bearing type that I know about. They are flatter than a typical Wald cage.

I think the bottom one was a little bigger. Is that right?

The Schwinn headset bearings are the same size top and bottom.
