Thumbs up Re: Replacing brake pads and shoes
The only suggestion I have is to make sure you have replacements for the small parts, i.e. springs, pins, etc. and a healthy supply of CRC Brake-Klean (do NOT use compressed air to blow the brake dust off!!) and high-temp brake grease. Just take it step-by-step, go slow, and you'll be fine.

Attached are a couple of good step-by-step PDFs for attacking the brakes. (The front disk brake tutorial is targeted at the caliper upgrade for the earlier year Tundra models, but the pad install procedures are still applicable.)

Good luck.
