I am getting ready to replace my rotors(it has been very cold and i have no garage to do it in so i have been putting it off). I know that new calipers are a good idea. Are there any Other parts that i should get while i am tearing the guts out of the front end?

If you're sticking with stock calipers, get a set of caliper pins. They're cheap and it's sooo much easier to wack the old ones and beat them out with a punch instead of trying to tap them out and keep them straight enough to use again. Plus having a truck in PA I can pretty much garuntee that the ones in there are all rusted and nasty and won't comeout on their own.....*sniff* do I smell a torch?
Also if your trcuk is a 4x4you'll need to get a hub socket if you don't have one.

those pins are a pita...i replaced them once with the help of a dremel and a BFH after they were seized...thanks for the tip though...anyone who is doing brakes needs to replace these...and yep it is a 4x4 so the socket is on my list now..54mm right or 2 1/8 standard...are there any seals i will have to replace? just re-pack the bearings? anybody know any trick to re-packing...any good techniques? thanks...
