it has a star adjuster that may need de-adjusting. for that you might need a brake spoon. some times you can use a flat blade screw driver if nothing is in your way and you have the right size.

per book, need to match-mark the disc b4 removal. once there, it's like any other. needle nose pliers, screw drivers/pry bar maybe, and typically more hands than one has.

emergency brake shoes? how about just the brake shoes. Yes there is a tool it is called the allen wrench
