Thanks for your clear and simple explanation for changing the pads. Heading out to do mine now.

Hey mate, just a heads up, those OEM pads have plenty of life, also, the OEM toyota brake pads are designed for extreme applications and abuse. Don't use bearing grease on your slides, or pins. The grease can melt and drip on the rotor, or certain greases can turn to tar, and prevent calipers from sliding correctly, causing un even pad wear. Those toyota OEM pad retaining pins also need to be checked for put of round, as the do wear and or bend, and again can stop one side from wearing correctly. If you're discarding the brake pads, putting a pair of screw drivers between the pad and rotor on both sides pushing them outward equally won't hurt and is the best way to replace the pads. The pliers don't always work, they can flex or may not provide enough for to push back pads if pistons are stuck/jammed/seizing/sticking, and you can break them and hurt yourself. Also be careful doing brakes like this on 120 and up series prados, klugers, 200 series, hilux's as they have an auto bleed system on the master cylinder, and if you don't crack the nipple whilst pushing back the pads/pistons, you can cause issues with the module, and have no brakes. Just make sure the car is off, so the system doesn't activate when you crack the nipple. Once you have replaced the pads, then turn the ignition on, crack the nipple on one side at a time, and allow the auto bleed system to activate, then shut off the bleed nipple allowing the system to build pressure back up in that brake circuit, and continue doing this with each corner, once done, then use your foot brake to pump the pads back to the ready state. This prevent damage to the braking system, and allows it to pressurised properly.

You put the lower clip backwards. If you pay attention, is not in the same position as when you took it off. Or maybe it was backwards and you put it the right way?
