New around here, brake Q

[amillion3]

Hello everyone
I'm new to the forum, but a lurker for a while. I scored a 94 'rolla for 400 bucks from my old roommate. Great little go cart that is so fun to drive... The right side is pretty banged up from an accident and the body is in okay shape. But, with 167,xxx and counting, she runs great.
I recently replaced the PCV and power steering fluid. Next on my list is plugs/wires/cap/rotors before the weather gets cold. I should probably do a tranny fluid change too. Anyways, I need to do front brakes (pads + rotors).
Before I jump into the brakes, I want to make sure I have all the tools needed:
1/2 ratchet- 17mm socket for caliper braket bolts
21mm socket for lugs.
3/8 ratchet -14mm socket for one or two caliper bolts.
hammer
large pair of slipjoints to retract the piston.
torque wrench (150 ft lb)
I'm also planning on replacing the brake fluid. Anything else I should be aware of, or looking for? I'm somewhat mechaincally incline, just slow.

TIA!

Some antiseize, 8mm wrench for bleeder screws. wire to tie up the calipers & keep weight off the brake lines. clear plastic hose that fits over bleeder screws, plenty of brake cleaner, paper towels, shop rags, etc. Some 120 grit sandpaper for scuffing the rotors, synthetic grease for the slider pins, fast orange or similar hand cleaner unless you wear gloves, a battery bulb for sucking fluid out of master cylinder, 2 qts brake fluid. Whenever I bleed brakes I do it until all new fluid is coming out which usually takes a little over a qt for all 4 wheels. Make sure you have it supported well, the 17mm bolts that hold the caliper on were really tight on mine, the thought of being under the car cranking on something while it sways back & forth doesn't appeal to me.

Thanks Steve.

I have most of that stuff, but will need to pick up a few more items. I'm used to working on cars on an auto lift, so doing stuff on jackstands will be...different. Thankfully I'll be with a friend in case the car shifts/falls.
