From my memory there are two 17mm bolts that hold the caliper onto the back of the knuckle. There is also two phillips head screws that hold the rotor onto the hub. On some cars the two screws are easy to remove and on some its hard. I has able to remove the screws on my 97 hatch with a hand screw driver. When I changed the rotors on my friends 97 prelude i had to use an impact driver from sears. I can see the impact driver being useful later down the road so you may want to pick one up.

If you wanna change your pads while your at it you'll also want a 12mm socket/wrench(whichever) and a C-clamp( to push in the piston).
