Default Fitting braided brake lines

There is no other way of fitting these other than draining the fluid out completely is there?

You cant clamp anything above where the new lines connect i assume, or can i get a tight seal on the fluid resovoir and then somehow cap the pipe whilst i get the braided hose in there?

Cheers!

the whole idea of braided hoses is that you eliminate all the flexi pipes... so nothing flexi to clamp
