    I think you should just go to AutoZone for the tools and instructions on how to fix your brakes unless you have to save your money.

      You need several tools but I do not know if you have disc brakes or drum brakes . They take different tools for the different brakes . Disc brakes use rachets and sockets, allen wrench and a c clamp and a piece of wire/coat hanger to hang the caliper up on the frame while preparing the  pads to be put in  to prevent damage  to the brake line/hose. Drum brakes require a few specialized tools for removing the springs and adjusting the brake shoes after assembly. So you see you need to know which type of brakes you are working on. If you can I would suggest the z-net  from autozone . It will give step by step instructions for replacing brake pads and brake shoes. Or you can look on expert village videos for brake pad replacement. Hope this helps

      My car has disc brakes. I found that for the front brakes you need 7mm inset hex tool, but I can't seem to find out what tool for the rear. Still looking.
