Or if you don't mind aftermarket, there's caliper rebuild kits available from just about every auto parts store.

Basically comes down to your ability to remove the seized parts. I had to use a punch and hammer to remove seized bushings in my calipers, but it was otherwise a fairly easy rebuild. On the other hand, you could have one seized so badly it'd take a machine press to separate the parts. At that point, it's just a core to exchange for a remanufactured caliper (which is basically a caliper rebuilt by professionals).

www.1sttoyotaparts.com if you want genuine Toyota parts. You could even get the rebuild from them if desired -- what isn't listed on the website is available by calling them, just mention you're an internet order so you don't get charged as if you were a walk-in customer, as it is an actual dealership.
