Kim, you'll need compressed air to pop out the pistons. Other than that it's a very easy job.

You'll need:
Air compressor
Eye protection
Brake Kleen
Scotch bright abrasive pads
Rebuild kits
Brake fluid
associated tools for R&R of calipers

Being that you've been dragging a piston, you may need to replace a rotor. Worst case the caliper isn't rebuildable. If the side of the pistons or inner caliper are pitted baddly they aren't rebuildable. I'm happy to help anytime.
