You don't mention what bike you are working on, but on my '97, the calipers will clear, but only just. It takes a bit of wiggling/finagling (technical terms), but they will come off. You should in NO WAY have to remove brake lines to remove the wheel. Try moving the pads in caliper, towards the outside of the wheel. And then commence to wiggling.
