I was wondering what specialty wrenches are needed for the tri-z. Specifically, what wrenches are needed to get the rear bearing carrier apart and the steering stem. Part numbers or sizes are what I need

Also, has anybody found a gold paint that matches factory color for the hubs and the other gold painted pieces? My hubs are looking a little crusty and I want to touch them up

yeah, no problem with that, but the two nuts on the raer axle next to the carrier are what I was wondering about, the ones with a slot on either side, similar to the adjusters on rear shocks. Wondeing what size/type of wrench is used on there besides a hammer and punch :)

i used a pair of channel locks on the top stem one and a monkey wrench on the axel worked good

If you have a service manual they should be listed in there. I can look if you want
