For a reliable job you need the following:
Lug nut wrench
torque wrench
around a 32mm socket for the castle nut
correct torque specs for the castle nut (usually around 190 ft lbs)
a properly packed bearing (need to have ribbons of grease coming out the top)
jack/stand(s)
socket wrench with proper socket for caliper bolts
a bungee cord to suspend the caliper
im sure i missed something but im also sure you dont have these tools, so question answered :)
If im wrong, just send me a message for more info.
