Default removing entire brake caliper- how?

People,

Doing front brake calipers on civic 2001. I can figure out what bolts to remove, but confused by the strange very narow stiff "line" going into front part of the brake. Is that tha ABS line? Can it simply just be unscrewed? Will I mess anything up by doing that?

Thanks

just remove that big allen keyed one at the front. then twist the caliper up, and pull it out. i dont know what that other line is but i wouldnt worry about it. abs sensor is down on the axle driveshaft
