Drain the fluid out of the system before you remove the hoses, I don't think you can't seal the hoses. You would need to bleed the brakes on the different bike anyway. If it's clean you could keep the fluid to use for bleeding the brakes at home.

If you don't squeeze the lever while it's disconnected the fluid will stay where it is due to surface tension on the tiny surface area at the end of the hose. Try not to disconnect both ends of the hose at the same time.
It's definitely not going to squirt everywhere though.

Stupid question about hydraulic disc brakes - I need to disconnect hoses from caliper and/or lever in order to install my brakes on a different bike. Can you disconnect the hoses without fluid going everywhere? I'm getting the bike shop to set up the brakes, but want to just give them the bike plus brakes.
