It's easy to forget to apply a little grease to the pad retaining pins and pin holes on the caliper, and a bad winter/heavy mudding can get them seized up, and having to use a metal punch to get them out is a PITA.

Oh, and I highly recommend the Toyota OEM pads. You're asking for trouble going off the reservation looking for aftermarket "performance" or brake dust-minimizing pads. Just my $0.02.
