Anybody know of an easy way to grease the brake pedal pivot?

For the last couple days I've noticed a squeak coming from under the dash when I apply/release the brakes and the pivot is the only thing I can think of that would cause it. It finally got on my last nerve on the way to work this morning. Thought "that's OK - it will be an easy 10 minute, after-work fix" - just reach up under there, remove fulcrum pin, grease, re-install, good to go - no problem. Checked it out when I got home. Problem. I can barely even see the fulcrum pin, much less figure out how to remove it. Am I going to have to take the whole dash out just to get rid of a squeak in my brake pedal?

Somebody tell me there's an easier way...

i got really annoyed with mine once too. I ended up spraying some silicone lube in the general direction of the pivot, it did work but my brake light switch failed a few weeks later, lol not the best idea in the world!!

maybe try that with a WD40 nozzel straw?
