you'll need
1/2 ratchet with 17mm socket
could use a breaker bar too.
some WD-40
some Brake Cleaner
pair of needle nose pliers
(can be blunt nose)
whatever to take your wheels off (tire wrench, socket, etc)
jack
jackstands (for safety)
10mm socket with 3/8" ratchet
or 10mm box wrench (if bleeding brake lines)
some small diameter rubber or silicon tubing to prevent brake fluid from going everywhere
brake fluid and
an extra person to pump the brake while you
bleed the system.
if you're removing the stock rotors, you might need a 8mm x 1.25 pitch bolt
to help remove the rotor. you'll need to tread two bolts into each of
the threaded holes in the brake rotor to push to rotor off of the hub.
a flathead screwdriver or small prybar will help too.
some anti-squeel pad lube
some high temperature caliper grease
i think that's it...
this is from memory, so i might of forgotten something...

terry ,
you just about covered it but you forgot one thing , patience bro and a big mac to feed the body
good luck fireballs , the diy is easy and lots of fun .. if you are not removing the dust shield , i used a small pliers to bend back the amount needed to clear the caliper and just bent it back and fortth till it broke off giving me a clean edge that i crimped after
