Front Brakes / Rotors

Got new tires on the truck this week and of course, now it decides it wants brakes.

I got the rotors and pads.

I did a bunch of searching, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I know the info is out here as I've seen it before.

Other than the rotors, pads, hardware kit and brake grease, any other parts I am going to need?

What special tools will I need?

I've done brakes on other cars and older (77/78) Ford Trucks, but this will be my first attempt on a newer truck and first attempt on a 4x4.

Truck is in sig.

Thanks in advance for the help!

It's pretty much the same you front brake calipers or double piston

The pads aren't much different, but the rotor is behind the 4WD Hub. I saw a really good post on how to do automatic hubs, but manual hubs are a little different. I know there are some specialty tools that I will need.

If someone can either list the tools/procedure or point me to a link, it would be much appreciated.
