This, key is to not rush it. Take your time and have the hose/caliper pointing up/down when you snip/undo the hose.
With drop bars, I find what +lynx mentioned about zip tie/toe strap(that's what I use) overnight really helps if a full bleed still doesn't give you your desired bite.
I've also found reusing olive and barbs are fine.

Put the bleed cup on with a little fluid in and repeatedly squeeze the lever, tap the hoses and force the bubbles to the top. If that fails you can tie the levers down for a while but a couple of hours is usually plenty rather than days
