I didn't remove the carrier on mine, the disc just swung out.
Hmm, dunno so, mine definitely would not come off with the carrier on and believe me I tried as I really didn't want to take off the carrier. Main problem I have now is I've put it all back together but rear brakes seem to be stuck on. Parking brake seems to cycle OK and it passed a test OK. I'm getting a fault for brake linings although I did enter the new pad value of 12mm and when I check it it reads 12mm. I'm wondering if I've buggered one of my calipers - there was a lot of resistance winding the LHS one in and the RHS creaking started me thinking was it the piston creaking in the bore? This car is braking my heart.
