Tools needed to replace brakes?

I recently purchased some new viggen rotors and ceramic pads for my 2001 5dr Viggen from the great people at eeuroparts. I have searched other post on the Saab net and also searched alldata.com for the correct tool to remove the brake calipers and rotor. The instructions I’ve found on how to remove and install the parts are thorough, but the tools needed are nowhere to be found. Are the caliper retaining bolts an allan head, torx, or normal six point and what size? Also, what do I need to remove to rotor retaining bolt? I know I need a large c-clamp, torque wrench, liquid wrench, brake cleaner, anti-seize, and the appropriate floor jacks and lug wrench to remove the wheels. I’ve replaced brakes on other vehicles, mainly a2 GTI’s, but never on a Saab. I’ve heard some dreaded horror stories about the rotor retaining bolts, frozen rotors and piston calipers. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone and Happy Holidays!
