You don't have to remove the calipers, only the brake pad. Push the brake pads away from the rotor, pull the two steel pins, gently remove the white sensor wires and then the flat metal spring holding the pads in the calipers, then just slide the pads out. They will come out. 
 
Clean the back of the pads (brake cleaner or MEK) and the piston face, then smear the goop on the back of the pad. 
 
Later,
Mike R
