Yup. I need to do my fronts soon. Looking at it it looks so simple that even a caveman could do it.

i have a bill blue ss brake line on mine so it just hangs therewhen i remove the 2 caliper bolts. i actually forgot about that hard line. leave that line attached unless your in the mood to bleed your brakes when you done. there's a bracket at the front of the fork leg that connects the rubber line to that hard line. if you disconnect that bracket from the fork leg the calipershould be free to hang there. it's been a while so i'm guessing here.
