UFO guide pins

What am I missing? The UFO calipers seem to have the guide pins
pressed in and inaccessible for the purposes of
disassembly/cleaning/inspection/relubing; after removing the cap on
the end of the bottom pin, I expected to find an allen key or
similar, but no- nothing. The top guide pin has a boot, but the
bottom one has no boot (?!)
The Bentley says "replace caliper", which is absurd. Archive search
turned up nothing, same with Chris's repairs page.
Will I have to be content with peeling back the upper guide pin's
boot and squirting some new grease in? And what the heck is the
point of the rubber cap bit for the lower pin? Is that supposed to
be full of grease?
