Good evening,

You will need:

1. lug wrench for the wheel.

2. 6-inch long screwdriver.

3. Set of torx sockets for removing the caliper pins for the brakes.

4. Hammer. You will need a good size one to knock the rotor loose.

5. A 30mm or 32mm socket for the axle nut. You will need either a 1/2 air gun or an electric gun to release the nut.

6. 8mm and a 10mm socket for the ABS sensor.

7. Either a 13mm or 15mm socket with a ratchet to release the bolts holding the hub to the spindle.
