T100 130k mile maintenance -- questions

In the next month or so, my T100 is going to get:

1. New front brake pads and rotors
2. New front wheel bearings
3. New timing belt and water pump

I've done this type of work on several other cars/trucks before, so I'm not too afraid of it. I've read up some posts here, but had a few questions:

1. Will I need any special tools?
2. Is there anything tricky involved in replacing the front wheel bearings?
3. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for aftermarket rotors that aren't so prone to warping?

Thanks,
Sonny

2WD or 4WD?

Nothing special...make sure you use new cotter pins. Git some decent high temp wheel bearing grease.

Sorry...forgot to mention that it's a 2WD truck. Sounds like I'm set. :)

As far as the water pump and timing belt go...it's been said to replace the idler rollers as well...since yer in there. ;)
