Lug wrench, allen wrench (different size depending on what calipers you 
have)  phillips head screwdriver, and something to push the cylinder back in 
the caliper.  Sears has a great tool for this for around $10 or so.  I've 
also heard a C clamp will work.  Some auto store employees will try to 
convince you that you need caliper lube, but I'm not convinced it's 100% 
necessary.  Other than that, just the parts!  :)
