yeah, you'll be pretty well confined to the wheel well area... if you take the 2 bolts off that hold the whole caliper in, not the slider bolts, you'll be able to get it away from the rotor, but the brake line will still be connected, and I dont recomend disconnecting that because you'll need to bleed the brakes after they are all hooked back up, unless you're up to it and know how to properly do it.
