No special tools needed for brakes besides basic tools (including a pad depresser (cheapy tool from any parts store or c-clamp will do)

New rotors should not have to be machined. Before replacing the old rotors, measure the thickness (min spec on rotor).

No bearing work should have to be performed (they are not hubbed rotors, so the bearing is seperate and stays on the hub)

And yes plugs are a bear.
