You won't kink the brake lines. They're quite flexible. Get a coat hanger before hand and bend it so it'll hang on the spring. You'll remove the two caliper mounting bolts, lift the caliper up, off, and back a little and then hang it on your hook. Remove the rotor, install new, slide the caliper back on and tighten. It's not even as hard as it sounds. You don't even need to touch those 2 clips on the strut.
The lines are quite long acutally, they wrap around the bottom of the strut so they have a lot of flex in them. Pressing the brake pads back with a pry bar or screwdriver will make it easier since the caliper can be angled a bit.
You'll see- it'll work. This is all the shops do.
Good luck!
