1990 Volvo 740 base sedan

Two part question. How do you remove the rear calipers? These are ATE rear disc brakes.

And secondly, does anyone know how I can jack up the car to do this? I have wheel chocks for only two tires at this point. I'm going to get it for a third wheel in a few days. But as far as I can tell, there's no safe way to do this without a lift? I jacked up my rear driver's side of the car, and then realized that I had my parking brake on. I had wheel chocks for my front two tires, but I realized that releasing my parking brake might be a bad idea. I also couldn't locate a good location for the jack stand in the rear. Any suggestions?

Okay, it's more like a 5 part question. :-) But any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

BTW, I'm doing this because I want to check the slide pins. My front girling caliper pins were seized up (see here for full account of things) so I was curious about my rears as well.
