caliper removal
I need to take off my 4 pots to get them refurbed.
Normally you would just clamp off the brake hoses with vice grips, but i've got braided hoses so i'm assuming i can't do this now?
So how do i prevent losing all my fluid?

I had the same problem when I refurb'd mine.
Bit of a bodgy solution, but it seemed to work at the time. - I removed the banjo bolt and then found 2 drill bits of similar size, I wrapped some ptfe tape around the shaft and twisted each one into the ring of the braided hose. This seemed to stop the fluid enough for a couple of days whilst the brakes were sorted.
Crap I know, but it worked for me.
