I've got ST-RS685/BR-RS805 to be internally routed.

Does it make any odds whether I disconnect at the lever or caliper?

Are the barbs and olives reusable?

I've re-used barbs and olives a couple of times on my R685 (levers)/ BR785 (calipers) with no issues. Always ended up being at the caliper end. I've got the spares and been ready to fit them if necessary, but haven't died yet.

Yes, I think Shimano are erring on the side of caution.

I can't see why you couldn't slice the tube to free the connector and Hope (I think) say their olives are reusable.
