just thought i would ask,before i start the job--do i have to remove the calipers to get the rear disks off or can i get away with just removing the pads??+ is there anything i need to know that might catch me out removing the disks and cleaning the handbrake assy. ect.???

You will need to completely unbolt the rear caliper to get the disc off.
If it's 4 pot calipers at the front, you have to remove the caliper to change the front discs.

Yep-ive got em off now,beau2-dont touch the bearing nut,just unbolt the caliper from behind the disk,then gently ease the disk off with the use of a rubber mallet (dont forget to have the handbrake off!!),if the disk doesnt come off then pull the oval bung out of the back plate behind the disk at the bottom-this gives you access to the adjustment mechanism,wind it back the opposite way the arrow points a few clicks,and this should give the shoes a bit more play,you should then be able to remove the disk easily now, if your not too sure about doing this, it may be better to have a mechanic/competant person to show you first.
Hope this helps.
p.s its stopped squeeking since ive cleaned them --yippeeeeeeeeee
pps-also found shoes were adjusted too tight,poss cause of squeeking.
