Must I disconnect the lines at the rear calipers when changing pads and rotors? 200 1993

Yes, if you need to replace the rotor, you can remove pads and hang the caliper from the coil spring. But I think the inboard line clamp to the axle tube needs to come off for more slack in the brake line.

And BTW, the lines aren't "stiff steel". They are a copper nickel alloy that doesn't rust and bends quite easily.

Just make sure nobody presses the brake pedal while the caliper is off the rotor, lest a piston gets popped out of its cylinder.
