You have to remove the caliper bracket also (to get the rotor off).
If you are not changing the rotor or pads, you will not have to compress the piston. Just remove bottom caliper bolt, rotate caliper body up, remove pads, rotate caliper body down, put bolt in a few threads, remove caliper bracket bolts, suspect caliper from spring/shock/whatever (not the brake line) with wire, zip ties, bungie, etc, pull rotor off, remove abs sensor and then remove the hub.
