We bought the Pads & Rotors locally at O'reilly Auto Parts. The pads were the Import Direct Brand and worked great. They do smoke quite a bit during the initial break-in period, but they stop great.

It is recommended to change this bushing each time you service the brakes.
Just a quick video showing how I replaced the rear brake pads & rotors on a 2020 Toyota Highlander with an electric parking brake. It seems to be the quickest and easiest method to simply remove the motor and manually wind the electronic parking brake mechanism back in.
Tools Needed:
5mm allen or hex bit
T-45 Torx Bit
Small pry bar
14mm socket and/or wrench
17mm thin open end wrench
19mm socket or wrench
Breaker bar or impact wrench
Torque wrench
Brake Grease
Torque specs I found online: 25 ft. lbs for the rear caliper slide pin bolts and I decided to go with 111 ft. lbs for the Caliper bracket bolts. (I recommend checking that in your manual to make sure that's correct because I wasn't able to confirm that.) Also, it is recommended to replace the Caliper Bracket bolts with new ones from Toyota. Part number - Toyota (90105-A0425)
