Small pair of snap ring pliers to remove the clip behind the ebrake dust boot, 11mm line wrench to remove the brake line from the hose to the caliper, 19mm deep socket or short socket with extension..plus breaker bar to remove the caliper bolts(they may be very tight, so you were warned). Also, if you don't have a tool to clamp off the brake hose, the fluid will most likely be drained from the master reservoir. Be wary of using vice grips as they can damage the hose.
Since '85's had solid rotors, and '86 and up had vented rotors, there is a possibility the new calipers might not bolt up if you didn't get them from a reputable source. If you run into this problem, which will be very obvious when installing the new ones, the caliper yokes are different and would need to be swapped with your old ones...or you'd have to get another pair of calipers.
