Answer 1

That would be very strange you need a new Caliper on a Toyota. Caliper's might give you trouble after 12 years but it's not uncommon to see a Toyota last for 20 years trouble free. Get a second opinion!

Answer 2

if one side of the vehicle is wearing pads out faster than the other due to the caliper seizing up, or the caliper itself is leaking then go ahead and follow these instructions. place a vice grip on you brake line with enough pressure to stop the brake fluid from leaking out while replacing the caliper, and also to avoid pulling in excessive amounts of air into the system. unbolt brake line from caliper. should be a 12mm or a 14mm bolt. next unbolt caliper from spindle. should be either 17mmor 19 mm bolts. get new caliper, insert new pads, makesure they are properly lubricated. and replace both sides, it only takes an extra 10 mins. when reinstalling the caliper .. just reverse dissasembling procedure. make sure that when you hook up the brake line back up to the caliper you use the new copper washers that come with the new caliper. once brake line is bolted onto caliper, open up the bleeder, and take off the pliers or whatever you decided to use to stop the flow of the fluid. allow some fluid to come out of the bleede, basically gravity bleed it for a couple of minutes. close off bleeder, add fluid to the reservoir. its handy to have someone with you, cause you will need to pump bleed the caliper with the brake pedal.

Answer 3

Get Hayes service manual from your local auto parts store. It's a pretty simple and straight forward procedure.
