Do I need the hose cutter and barb tool to put hoses on or can I make do with some plumbing snips that make a neat job on 15mm barrier pipe?

It’s routing that bothers me. How likely is it I’ll need to take the BB out?

I’m trying to avoid a minimum two week wait at my LBS which won’t allow you to book a bike in on a specific day.

Mole grips with Shimano clamping pads, hold it next to a cutting surface and cut as square as possible with a cutter. Do a couple of test cuts first, then final cut to correct length.

Snips might do a good job, but you risk crimping the hose
