I have included part numbers for tools you may need and some advice on what you can do to avoid having to purchase any higher priced special tools.
Replacement parts (if required) can be purchased at any of the following web sites:

Recommendations on parts that may require replacement:
Brake Rotor with Lining

The part numbers will be based on your MODEL NUMBER.
Prices will vary between the sites I have listed, so shop and compare. The first three sites I have listed, have helpful exploded view diagrams to assist you with locating and properly identfying the parts you need.
