You'll need a lug wrench to break the wheel lugs loose, a jack (hydraulic is best), one-two jack stands, something to place behind the rear wheels, a socket/ratchet set (mm), a large enough C-Clamp to fit over the calipers to depress the piston. Don't forget to loosen the master cylinder cap before depressing the piston, as fluid will rise.

The wrench isn't mm.. This refers to the sockets. It's probably 10mm, but I'm not sure. It won't be larger than 13mm.
