Hello, I'm Danny.

If you are using the factory lug wrench and jack to raise the car and take the wheels off you will need a three eighths drive ratchet, Three eights drive 7mm hex socket, Flat blade screwdriver, And a c-clamp. Here is a tutorial for you to view showing how to remove and replace the brake pads and rotors:
