Default Removing...Part 2

Hi all,

I want to remove mr rear brake compensators so I can clean them up and get the out the way whilst painting my underside, I have loosened off all the brake lines that go into them, and only snapped one plastic clip! fook they were on tight! But, obviously when I take them out they piss with brake fluid, how can I remove them and stop the brake fluid dripping, is there a way? or do I need to let it drain?

Cheers for any help.
