Front brake pad replacement on the new Tundra's is no different the old ones. Thing are just larger. As far as the bad grammared brake tip. Lightly greasing the pins is a must, but be sure to use a silicone brake grease Only! Wheel bearing grease and anti seize can end up on caliper boots and destroy them. White grease simply washes away.
Push the pistons in using a large screw driver, pushing the old pad back also. This seat both pistons at the same time. Install the new pad the do the other pad. It is recommended that you open the bleeder and push out the fluid instead of pushing it back through the ABS and master. Top off an bleed each caliper.

Is the bleed process like it used to be where one person opens and closes the bleeder while the other operates the pedal? What harm is possible if you don't bleed and just push the fluid back through the ABS and into the master cylinder?

It is said that by pushing the piston back in you can possibly push small spec of accumulated crud from the calipers back into the ABS where it can get lodged in a dump valve.
I would say this is rare, buy why take a chance. If you open the bleeders and push the pistons back in, your likely to get very little air in the calipers. Usually one pump up and bleed will assure no air is present.
