I'm swapping internally routed integrated bars, so I need to disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the brifters and pull them out, swap bars, and reinstall.
My first thought is "There must be a way to just plug the hose while I do this so I don't have to completely drain and rebleed the brakes?"
But, I think that's naive? What steps should I take?
1. Flush the system entirely.
2. Remove olive and barb, trim hose.
3. Swap bar/brifter.
4. Install dry hoses.
5. Bleed with new fluid?
Or please god tell me there's an easier way haha.
