To answer your questions, according to my resourses you'll need to remove the parking brake cable from the top of the caliper PRIOR to removing the caliper. Other then that, its straight forward.
When you're turning down the caliper, I highly suggest leaving the brake bleeder screw open, this will prevent the old cruddy fluid from going back up into the lines and it will allow the caliper to compress easier.
