Front brakes

My truck has 60k on it, and the brakes aren't as grippy as I'd like them. Time to swap the front pads. What I was wanting to know was if any special tools were required. I know my bronco required a special castle socket to get the rotors off. Does the superduty require a similar (perhaps the exact same) socket?

I haven't done one, but I'm assuming they are like the older superdutys and just float.

I've changed my left rear rotor and brake pads due to rotating tires jack stand went to poop and drop my truck but I needed no special tools to change rotor or brake pads except some muscle to remove the rotor from the studs.
