Wheel brace, jack, philips and flat screw driver, punch, allen bolt socket set, copper grease, new discs and pads.
Don't know about the gap.

From what I recall the Allen key bolt is not one you will find in a standard socket set. I had a bit socket set (200 piece) and I still had to go out and buy the tool especially. When I get home later I'll look at the size.
