Trying to write it out step by step here would take a long time and would be at least a few pages long.

Stuff to buy:
New Calipers
New Rotors

Brake Cleaner
Repair Manual
If the pads do not come with new clips, you may have to buy 2 of them.

Basic Tools needed:
Hex Wrench Set
Basic wrench set
Socket Set
Tire Iron
Floor Jack and Jack Stands
Hammer might come in useful, along with a bigger regular screw driver.
C-Clamps
Sand Paper/Steel Brush
Rags
A helper to bleed the brakes.

If vehicle has ABS, that system also might need to be bled...repair manual will let you know.
