sum basic sockets and an 1 11/16 socket for the castle nut, that should do it,and an allen key for the caliper.

Should be a 15, 18, 1 11/16 that is all you need(it is early could be wrong). Our trucks at work eat wheel bearings up in two months or less. We have to change them if the dodge mech is too busy or just plain slow. Its takes about 15-20 minutes a side for us but the hubs are not that seized big hammer.
