no special tools needed look in the how to section there are step by step instrutions. i did mine in about 2 hours and that was my first time ever doing brakes. i would do new rotors while you are underthere
You may need a tool to push the piston back in if you are doing the rears. This is needed on the 3. You need to turn it while adding pressure to get it back in. I have always used needle nose pliers (more difficult but worked).
