Rear Rotor Removal Process - Brake Line Disconnection Required? 200 1981

I'm about to replace my rear rotors. It seems like the brake line has to be removed from the caliper to move it out of the way of the rotor. Is there any trick to doing this job without disconnection the brake line? Possibly detaching the brake line from the rear axle temporarily, but leaving the line attached to the caliper? I don't want to just bend the brake line with the caliper attached to get the clearance needed to clear the rotor. Any advice is appreciated.
