Like Vlad says, a big pair of channel locks or other to compress the piston. I'd recommend a breaker bar also. My '01 9-5 (don't know what year yours is) had 18mm caliper bolts (that hold the caliper to the hub). These were installed at the factory with red loctite. I used a 3' metal pipe to force leverage on those to get them off. If I hadn't used the breaker bar I would have been stuck. Those boys are really in there. And yes, like seemack says, the beer tastes great (after the test drive) when you're cleaning up. Like you it was my first time too. I put on Zimmerman rotors, but used OEM pads. I wish I had used the EBCs. Have fun and good luck.
