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

the problem is there are no flexible lines leading directly to the rear calipers, so.. you'll have to bend the stiff steel lines.

Which, if I were you, I would do if possible..

To be honest though, unless your rear rotors are visibly scoured, or obviously warped, I would not replace them at all. Rears are responsible for a small percentage of your braking... the rotors don't usually go bad.

I'd just stick new pads in, and not risk doing more damage than good.
