      I believe removing the two screws hold the rotors will give you a pretty good time. I had to buy an impact driver to get mine off. Other than that, I believe a 17mm wrench to remove the caliper and a caliper spreader if you can't push the caliper piston in by hand (I was able to do it by hand, but it was pretty hard.)

      A can of brake clean to clean the new rotors and some grease if you feel like taking the calipers apart and greasing the sliding pins (probably a good idea to do so since they probably haven't seen grease in 7 years now.) I believe you'll need a 12mm or 14mm wrench or socket for that.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      Ok everybody, thanks for the help. I figured it couldn't be too difficult. Doax, pictures would be a great help! my local mechanic who i trust has put in the timing belt quoted me front rotors and pads for 190 bucks and by reading online what others pay figured it was a great deal since he would buy the same less expensive parts as I would. But I figured I would have some fun and learn and do it myself and save $100. Thanks again, ill post back up and maybe take some Pictures as well when im done.
