A brilliant video, many thanks. I have shortened Shimano hydraulic brake systems a couple of times and found I needed to bleed the system. One thing I also found, where even the mechanic at the bike shop did not know and disagreed with me, is that olives for shimano hoses - BH59 and BH90 are identical, but the Barbs are not. You should (must?) use the correct Shimano Barb with the particular hose, be it BH59 and BH90. The BH90 Barbs are silver, BH59 (older) is gold in colour. Hopefully this may be of use for someone?
