Gentlemen, I am merely relaying my experience from 2 Toyota Trucks. 1 a 1995 Tacoma 4X4, and the other a 2002 Tundra 4X4 both extended cabs. They are the only Toyotas I have ever owned, both trucks experienced the same issue with the pins refusing to budge from the front calipers. When mentioned to prefessional mechanics, it was acknowledged that my experience is far from unique. The first time I changed the pads on my Tacoma I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Since then I've been cautious and careful, and additional care and preperation hasn't eliminated the issue. There are certainly people who are far better at this stuff than I am, but I'm not completely inept, and changing brake pads is pretty basic stuff.
