Default Tools for fitting brembos

Hi,
I will be fitting Brembo discs and calipers to my WRX in the near future with the help of a mate. Im not the most mechanically minded so could anyone tell me sizes of the nuts and bolts and any specific tools that i may need to make life a bit easier.
Cheers

Set of decent larger Allen keys.

Socket set.

WD40.

Copper Eaze.

MAYBE water pump pliers.

Some flexible brake pipe clamps IF yours aren't braided.

Make sure the threads on the Brembo caliphers are in good condition; they often strip when being removed and require a helicoil insert. I think the same can happen to the bleed screws too.

Yep. Get as much penetrating spray on all the bolts you are moving
