[Elecraft] K2: Help, I messed up the dial calibration!!!

I was trying to calibrate my K2/100 and had it within 10 Hz according to 
WWV 10 MHz. I should have left it alone. Now it is off by about 700 to 
800 Hz on 40 meters. Ouch!

Here are the steps I did so far:

1. I set the C22 trimmer on the Control Board by the N6KR method at 
http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com/n6kr_method.htm. I set the dial at exactly 
10.000.00 MHz, and alternated between TP1 & TP2 until the readings CAL 
FCTR match with about 2 Hz.

2. I ran CAL PLL.

3. I ran CAL FIL on every mode / filter combination, being sure to 
change the BFO hex value even if not needed.

I didn't build the K2 in the first place. So I never did the entire 
procedure before.

Any help is welcome!
