Question about brake rotor removal

[BTO]

Help!!!

I got the front wheels off our '99 4runner SR5 with 16" wheels. I want to have the rotors turned for pulsating. Problem is there are short steel brake lines connected to the calipers. The book says I have to take the brake lines loose but I was not prepared to bleed today. This is the first vehicle I have seen with this weird setup. Usually the rubber hoses connect to the calipers so you can remove them and let them dangle while you take off the rotors.

There is a mount just up from the calipers. Can I unbolt that and then remove the calipers? The mount also has what looks like the abs wiring.

Just pop off the 2 17mm bolts holding the caliper on, then CAREFULLY move it just enough to pull the rotor off. You can do it without bending the hard lines too much, just be careful.

Well i have 96 limited, but ur sr5 might be different. I just took the 2 caliper bolts out and hung the caliper on the spring using bung strap
