tools needed

Where is the best place to pick up some tools so I can perform some steering head bearing maintance, I've been searching but can find anywhere to get the specialty sockets needed for the steering nuts.

The only tool I had to buy was a 32mm socket to remove the head nut. I was able to remove the stem lock nuts with a drift punch, just gently tapped on it and she backed right off.
