Toyota truck calipers

What am I doing wrong? Changing the pads on my 2002 Tundra, the caliper design has the pads running on pins. My 1995 Tacoma had a similar design. In changing the pads on my Tacoma, I couldn't remove the pins and ruined a caliper. I was able to remove 3 of the 4 pins on my Tundra, but had to drill and cut the 4th pin. I cannot get a pin for it today. The Toyota dealer doesn't keep the pins in stock, the independent parts dealer, NAPA, and Advance Auto Parts don't have them. A new caliper doesn't come with them.

Pads are a wear item, so obviously there is a trick to removing the pins, what am I doing wrong?
