In fact, you have to remove the rotors <before> you can remove the
calipers, so you've got things going your way.  You don't even need to
remove the pads.  The rotors will just slip out after their fixing bolts
are removed.  Make sure you have a 15 mm, <6 point> box wrench handy before
you start the job.  The rotor fixing bolts are always VERY tight, and you
will most assuredly round them off if you use any other tool.
