You'll need needle-nose pliers to get the cotter pin out of the retaining pin that holds the pads in place, and a small screwdriver and a mallet to tap the pin out. Oh, and a magnetic part grabber to retrieve the damn pin when it lands somewhere in the suspension.

Boxster brakes are CAKE if you're just doing the pads. You'll spend far more time pulling the wheels off than anything else.
