This job should not require too many "Not-found-at-Sears-anymore" Tools. If you have all of the normal stuff, end-wrenches, 1/2" drive socket sets in standard and metric, air tools would be nice, a jack, and maybe a small ford tool, you should be set for the standard issue end of things. Now, the only two tools that I can think of short of looking at the service manual, that are special, would be the spanner nut socket wrench used to remove the wheel bearing retaining nuts, and for the ultimate in textbook quality jobs a seal/bearing installation tool. You might have a slide hammer to remove the seals if they are in there for the course, but removal never seems to have the word delicate on it's menu. Torque values are @ 40 ft/lbs DO NOT HOLD ME TO THAT for the wheel bearing retaining nuts. Anyway, the job ain't that bad, but on the other hand you might want a torch and a. . .
Ha Ha just kidding.
P. S. buy a good torque wrench
