What size wrenches for brake job?

I am installing new rotors and pads on an 03' 2500 2wd. What size wrenches are needed? My sizes run out at 3/4" so I need to buy whats needed. Any special tools needed?
TIA

Brake Job

They are an 18mm socket for the caliper bolts. Forget about taking the rotors off as they are a pain. The dealer turns them on the truck. After looking at the job I decided to let a professional do it. Dodge screwed the backyard mechanic on this repair.

As stated in the above post , all that is needed is an 18mm socket. The
rotor slides off after you remove and discard the annoying little retainers.
