    Caliper Bolt Sockets, piston wind-back tools, C-Clamps and Disc Brake Pad Spreaders, and Drum Brake Spring Tools.

    You don't need anything special to bench bleed a master cylinder, just use a small vise and some small clear plastic tubing that you attach to the bleeders and back into the reservoir.

    are you looking at doing rotors too if so look for spindle nut socket like this black thing in the picture. i needed one for my 78 cj5 in order to take the rotor off you needed to take the hubs and the spindle nut off just to get the rotor off.
