The tools you need to replace front pads would be.
A half inch ratchet. T50 torex socket half inch drive. Brake caliper depressor. Jack the vehicle up at designated lifting points. Remove front wheels. Remove both torex bolts on caliper. Pry caliper off. Remove outboard side pads. Compress caliper till all the way in. Remove other pad. Install new pads and lube all contact points with antiseize. Install caliper. Tighten caliper bolts to proper torque. Install wheels and torque properly. Make sure you pump the brake pedal before backing up.
