tools needed

ChevyMalibu1998

For the first time in my life at 33 years old I will be changing the brake pads, rotors, drums, and shoes on a 1998 Chevy Malibu my grandfather just gave me (99,854 miles on it driven locally only, literally). I already bought floor jacks, stands, and chocks. My question is, what tools will I need to order or go buy to complete this job? Thank you (sorry if wrong place to post this)

This would be very difficult to explain with words. I would find a couple YouTube videos for your specific car and watch them several times.

What I can say is if you pay attention you will find that disc brakes are usually pretty easy to do for the run of the mill family sedan.

Good luck.

The rear shoes can be done without this tool but it's way easier with it. https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-50600-Spring-Brake-Tool/dp/B000GHZMTQ/ref=asc_df_B000GHZMTQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693334113981&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12160402304696812395&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005862&hvtargid=pla-569512224371&mcid=3ab16417c9633c949ff4926c51672f42&gad_source=1&th=1
