1. Removing at the levers is best. They have a connectamajig which seals the lever and therefore DOT doesn't piss out everywhere.
    2. You probably won't be able to seal the hose, but keeping the end up means you should lose too much fluid.
    3. You can cut the olive off (red bit) if you're careful and re-use the barb, but if the holes in your frame are big enough, leave the olive on and re-use them both.
    4. If you're not careful, cut the whole lot off, losing about 1cm of hose length and re-install a new barb. Or if you're feeling pro, use a Reverb Barb to seal the hose when you're maneuvering it.
    5. You might not need to bleed afterwards, especially the front one if you're careful. Only squeezing the lever will tell you this.
  • Hot tips thanks @amey @chiroshi

    It looks like the frame holes (SSEVO) are 'just' wide enough to allow a connectamajig through, so I'll try leaving them on and plugging back in if reusing them wont result in fiery death.

  • Very unlikely (at least the fire bit)

  • If you're moving an internally routed handlebar to another frame I'd disconnect the calipers, if you using a new bar, or externally routed unplug the shifters.
