Yep, Done that for my Adventra 2 years ago 
Rotors, Brake Pads, and service the calipers (Front and Back)
But I clamped the Brake lines, and removed the calipers, so it didn't fall, and damage the hose/s.
Removed the pistons and cleaned every thing up,
Especially after one of the previous owners had siliconed the pads in, and painted the calipers silver !
I had to run a file over the caliper slides [not the caliper pins], as the pads were stuck in one place,
The slides cleaned up very well.
Yes, I kid you not ! Brake Pads Siliconed in !
I guess it stopped them rattling
After using Degreaser to clean everything, the silicon was a bit easier to remove.
