Me being unfamiliar with this, I must ask. Is everything listed here what I need to replace my front disc brakes?
Brake rotor(2)
Bracketed brake caliper-passenger-driverside
Brake pads(4)
Brake disc hardware kit
Brake grease
You want a brake bleeder kit and new fluid too if you're replacing your calipers.

OP here, what's is the fluid called?
>>16314825
Uh, brake fluid? Look up what your car uses. Depending on how old the fluid is you might need to completely bleed out the old fluid or just add a bit more once you've bled the air out of the lines.

What a fucking idiot.
I'm not even going to ask why you are replacing your calipers
You might need for instance a bolt to thread in to break the rotor off since they get corroded on easy. Also never seize for reassembly so it comes apart easily next time (this also works as brake grease in a pinch if you get the high temp stuff)
You'll probably want paper towels and some cleaning solution for when you get shit in your brakes. They make special brake cleaner, but really even just simple green or some other such thing will get it done simply and close enough at low toxicity.
Also plan on an afternoon rather than a lunch break if it's your first time. Once you've done it once you can do it again much faster and easier. And include time to bed them in.

OP, yes i'm an idiot. I'm just getting stuff that Big o tires told me was needing to be replaced. They said rotors and calipers both sides. Do I really need to replace the calipers? Should I just replace the rotor and brake pads?

WAIT DID YOU BUY FUCKING CALIPERS FOR A REGULAR BRAKE JOB LMAO

The only time you need to replace calipers is if they are seizing. Meaning the brake pad gets stuck to your rotor causing smoking from the wheels and a horrible burning smell.
