You will need a jack to lift the truck, and jack stands to support the truck while it is being worked on. A lug wrench to remove the wheel. A 3/8" hex key wrench, or a 3/8" hex key socket. A pry to back the pads off a little for easier removal. If removing totally from the truck a wrench to remove the banjo bolt to disconnect the brake hose which has a copper washer gaskets on each side. If just replacing pads do not remove hoes, you will need a 8" c clamp to compress the caliper piston, using the old pad as a backer for the c clamp. You may have to remove some brake fluid from the reservoir as it will fill as you compress the piston. Once both calipers are re padded and mounted on truck push brake pedal two or three times to readjust calipers. Check and refill brake fluid level.
