For those of you who change your own brake pads, can you supply a basic list of the tools one needs to do this? I'd like to check which ones I have, and get the rest from Home Depot.

For the last year or so, I've been changing the pads on my own with the help of a friend, but with his tools and supervision, so I don't pay too much attention, plus we only do it once every 3-4 months, so I tend to forget. I'm gonna start doing this on my own now, and I want to make sure I have everything before the car is jacked up.

From clamps to rachets and sockets, please let me know what I'd exactly need. I appreciate any assistance.

 

Jack
Jackstands
12 pack of beer (6 pack if you're a *****)
19mm scoket/4way/whatever to get the wheel lugs off
14mm for the bottom caliper to caliper bracket bolt that goes in the sliding pin/whatever.
c-clamp to push the piston back in

rear also need some needle nose pliers/screwdriver/rear brake caliper tool/whatever else you can think of to turn the piston in the rear calipers..
some of the rear bolt sized may be different as well, I forget.
