what year bronco? 96? there are a few different style spindle nuts but you will need the socket for your type. earlier hubs had a nut with holes that lines up with a washer with pins to help retain it. Later on ford went to a spring loaded setup. The same socket will work on both. even later(i think 92 but im not sure) saw a different style which i believe takes a different socket. Other than that you will need standard tools like allen keys, tools to remove internal and external snap rings, sockets and so on.

How do you know you broke these parts if they havent been removed? What happened?
