7mm Allen key socket required to remove front caliper slide pins, C clamp required to move piston back before removing old inner pad and anti-sieze for slide pins.
Rotor removal a potential problem since they might be welded in place (from rust). Re-installing the anti-rattle springs a tricky task that I am in the middle of trying to overcome (inclement weather/frustration delay currently in effect).

Read the FAQ how-to here:

After flipping the anti-rattle spring off (use screwdriver and hold spring with pliers) I would suggest you try to immediatelly re-install so you are not surpised with the difficulty of this simple task at the end of the job.

p.s. Eyeball measure of rotor thickness, not the most accurate, use of measuring calipers recommended. You don't mention year or mileage of car but original rotor replacement after 60-70k miles probably wise.
