Default Front brake problems

Does anyone have any pictures of the front calipers? What do the front two bolts do?

Well, not owning any thing newer than an 05, two bolts (the bigger ones) mount the caliper to the fork leg. The two smaller ones hold the brake pads in place. Did I get the right answer?

I was servicing the brakes on my '09 Fat Bob and I think I loosened a bolt I wasn't supposed to. The new calipers have just two 12 pt 10mm bolts on the front, I think the middle one is the brake pad pin, the one near the brake line secures the caliper together. .I loosened both bolts and fluid started leaking out of the caliper.
