No problem, having to remove the brakes will double the time on this job real quick. If you feel it is necessary to remove the caliper to do it, just remove the caliper and don't disturb the lines. If you remove the entire strut housing then you have no choice in the matter and must take the lines loose, that is a nightmare. The dual metal lines that wrap around the base of the strut housing can be a real pain in the ass to deal with. If you can do this on the car without messing with the brakes you will be much happier.
