04 RAV4 rear brake pad install
My sister is coming over tomorrow night for me to put some new pads in the back of her rav4. Last week she was over complaining about a squeak when she used the brakes, and sure enough the wear indicators were touching the rotors. So I simply cut them off and told her to get some pads and come back soon. I didn't take the pads out of the calipers though, and from the brief look I honestly can't tell how they would. They have pins holding the pads like the typical 4 piston toyota caliper (although these are tiny little 2 piston calipers) but there doesn't appear to be a locking wire holding the pins in like I'm used to seeing. There is a rather elaborate anti-rattle clip, but could that actually hold the pins in?

Thanks a bunch. That pretty much explains it. The clip/wire i'm used to seeing on the back side of the caliper appears to be just on the inside of the outer edge of the caliper. I should be able to pull that out and drive the pins out no problem.
