What tools do I need to replace just my front brake pads on my 2014 JK and what ft lb torque specs do I need to tighten the bolts? I have done the rear brakes before, but just want to make sure and not be searching for any tools mid job. Thanks

There is a pretty good write up that was done here by the past leadership. Front caliper bolts are tight, like 90-100 ft lbs.

Whatever you used to do the back will be just as sufficient for the front. The caliper bolts are larger.

If ur just doing the front pads all u need to do is remove the caliper. I'll need a 13mm socket and a 15 narrow wrench to remove the caliper bolts. Torque for those are 26ft/lbs front and rear. Just as an FYI the caliber bracket bolt torques are different front to rear. 55ft/lbs rear and 120 ft/lbs front. U only need to remove the caliper brackets if ur changing the rotors which ur not. And of course high temp grease for the pad clips.

And you dont need to remove the entire caliper, just one bolt. The caliper will then swing up on the remaining bolt to swap out pads.
