The calipers on my SC are of a very conventional design. Replacing pads goes like this:

Remove pins and springs
open brake cylinder bleeding valve (coffee can under to catch fluid)
wiggle/pry a little to free the pads
lift pads out
reset pistons
close the bleed valve
inset new pads and plates
replace springs and pins
top up master cylinder
apply pressure and look for leaks
bleed twice
top up master cylinder.

Follow above for each wheel (order not important) then road test.

I use genuine Toyota pads.

I just changed all the break pads after getting some advise from people here. Its a very easy job. I didn't even need to bleed the break lines.
