81 gmc 7000 brake job

Got a 81 gmc 7000 that one of the wheel cylinders is leaking on front and I'm fixing to fix is it a straight forward job? Any specific tools I need before I tear into it? I'm guessing I'm going to break all the steel lines when I remove them...

    Its not a difficult job i have done it several times but by now the truck will probable need new brake lines and rubber hoses unless they have been replaced and the shoes are now soaked in brake fluid. I would do both sides and repack the wheel bearings.
