Front or back? I'll assume the front. At least something to take the wheel nuts off, 3/8 allen socket, c clamp to compress the caliper piston, those are the main ones anyways.

some sockets and a set of channel locks to compress the pistons should do the trick.

If it's been awhile since changing the pads or rotors. You might need a hammer to use with the Allen wrench to tap the bolts loose and then to tap around the rotor inner surfaces (or anywhere on the rotor if replacing) to break it free form the hub.
