I have a question regarding the procedure to lube the caliper slide surfaces. The rear caliper bolts were simple. They were long (maybe 3") and the sliding surface was very apparent and easy to lube. However, on the front, the bolts are short. Removing them does not give access to the sliding surface. I have a feeling that after removing one bolt, I have to swing the the caliper about the other bolt to remove the pin (and to be able to lube it). Is this correct? Most of the posts I read here have to do with the 1st gen. slides that come out with a hammer and screwdriver, which I don't have.
