7mm allen wrench, slotted screw driver, wire coat hanger to hold caliper while you work on rotor, not sure on the exact size of socket to remove piece that caliper sits on, 13mm?, breaker bar, 3/8 ratchet. Easy install.

ok well what i used was a 45mm torx nut, with a 3/8ths ratchet, this was used to remove the 2 pesky screws on the caliper, no big deal after that, just release the pressure on the pads to the rotor, and your set there! then just pry the pads off, and your set!
