The Canary: Brake rotor replacement

[kav]

The Canary (1969 911T) needs new front pads and rotors. I have the parts and have pulled the old pads out but I've hit a snag. To replace the rotors I need to remove the calipers but the brake lines run from the master cylinder as a hard line to a bracket with clip on the inner fender well, then to a flexible line to a bracket on the shock with no clip and transitions to a hard line to the caliper. So how do I remove the caliper without disconnecting the hard line? If I disconnect am I looking at bleeding the brakes? Hoping not to get into that. What other surprises am I looking at?

Thanks
