Default Tools needed to install new rotors

I want to do replace the rotors and pads on my 2003 F 150 7700 RWD. What sockets will I need, any special tools?

Basic tools, nothing exotic. Jack, jackstand, and lug wrench to pull the tire. Half inch ratchet and metric socket set to remove the mounting bolts for the caliper and bracket. Hammer and screwdriver to pry the axle nut dust cap off. Pliers to remove the cotter pin. Channel lock pliers or large adjustable wrench to loosen and tighten axle nut. Disk brake pad spreader or c-clamp. Torque wrench to put it all back together. That's for the front wheels. Dunno about the rear, since mine has drum brakes.

and a sledge hammer to loosen the rotor and the knowledge of where to hit - youtube can show you how to do most anything you need to learn how to do
